WHERE YOUR DONATIONS GO

Meagan’s Walk directs 100% of donations to support brain tumour research at The Arthur and Sonia Brain Tumour Research Centre (BTRC). The research projects that Meagan’s Walk funds improve diagnoses, treatments and outcomes for young patients.

The BTRC hosts the only program in Canada dedicated to paediatric brain tumour research. The bench to bedside philosophy that guides the research at the BTRC leads to advancements in clinical care and research. These advancements benefit children around the world, through knowledge gained by collaboration.

“Meagan’s Walk has helped tremendously in the acquisition of cutting-edge critical equipment that is enhancing the future landscape of discovery and recovery in brain tumour research.”

About the BTRC

Established in 1999, the Brain Tumour Research Centre, housed at the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning at SickKids, began with a team of four researchers. With the help of supporters like Meagan’s Walk, the BTRC has grown to become one of the largest brain tumour research centres in the world, with over 120 researchers working together.

Led by Dr. James Rutka, the BTRC brings together scientists and clinicians to study brain tumours, amalgamating their expertise, while sharing ideas, resources and equipment, in an atmosphere that is conducive to excellence in molecular neuro-oncology research. The BTRC also produces extensive publications concerning this work, and translational research. 

Translational research applies findings from basic science to enhance health and well-being. Funds raised through Meagan’s Walk support awareness and research about paediatric brain tumours, and have global impact, improving diagnoses, treatments and outcomes for young patients throughout the world.
