(reposted to remind you that the walk is coming up in a couple of weeks, and to thank those of you who have already contributed so generously. Since posting this I have toured the Ivy Center, and am very impressed with the work that they are doing: their research on brain tumor profiling may well help us choose appropriate treatments for Meg.
The 3rd Annual Seattle Brain Cancer Walk, hosted by Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure, will take place on Saturday, June 26, 2010 at Seattle Center's Mural Amphitheatre.People participate in the walk via "teams". A Seattle Philharmonic colleague (Carol) has started our team, named "Club Meg". You can contribute by:
Founded in 2008 by a group of committed volunteers and families, the Seattle Brain Cancer Walk has raised over $400,000 for research, clinical trials and comprehensive care for brain cancer patients in the Pacific Northwest.
Proceeds will benefit organizations focusing on brain cancer research and patient care in the Pacific Northwest, including the Ben and Catherine Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute. (this is where Meg gets her treatment)
- Becoming a member of the the team, and (optionally) getting others to sponsor you.
- Becoming a "virtual walker" of the team: as above but you don't have to turn up and walk
- By sponsoring an existing member of "Club Meg" (go here and click on their name)
- (easiest) by contributing directly to Club Meg.
- (we won't be hurt if you contribute to another team, or start your own team).
If you'd like to tell others about the Brain Cancer Walk, you can steer them to the Club Meg page via this short web address:

or you can download, print and distribute one of these posters.
Many thanks for your interest.
