2008 International Brain Tumour Awareness Week and the Walk Around the World for Brain Tumours
In support of the world wide efforts to raise awareness about brain tumours, Meagan’s Walk participants will once again see their kilometres “pledged” in support of the 2008 Walk Around the World for Brain Tumours. Between January 1 and November 1, 2008, walkers in all corners of the globe will help the International Brain Tumour Alliance reach their goal of encircling the earth’s circumference nearly three times- 120,000kms!
In 2007, the International Brain Tumour Alliance asked groups around the world to support the first annual Walk Around the World. The generous response showed that supporters pledged enough kilometres to walk around the world’s equator 2 ½ times!
Brain tumours spell “challenge” in any language! Brain tumours do not discriminate by sex, race, geography, age, religion or class. They affect people randomly, and the cause of most primary brain tumours is unknown.
The Walk Around the World for Brain Tumours promotes greater collaboration, greater knowledge, greater hope! Walks undertaken with the intention of encouraging awareness about brain tumours can pledge their mileage towards the 2008 Walk Around the World for Brain Tumours. So lace up the shoes and join Meagan’s Walk on Mother’s Day and make your steps count!
