9th Annual Glio-Blastoff 5K Saturday May 12, 2012 In loving memory of Denise Kimball Please keep checking this site for further updates. I am doing my best to make the event possible this year. Read below for details and check back often for updates. The American Brain Tumor Association has changed procedures, which have made it much more difficult, time consuming, and more of a liable risk for the event manager who is not employeed through ABTA. Their changes are a result of different requirements and laws the IRS has instituted for National charitable organizations. I am currently working with ABTA to try and elimate the current problems in place so that we can have the event this year. I appreciate your patience and I am doing my best to clear all hurdles as soon as possible so we can open online registration. I want to continue this event and will do my best to make that possible. It is difficult to watch someone you love battle such a disease. You feel helpless, you want to help, you want to take away the suffering, pain, and worry - but you can't. Participating in this event is one of the best ways we currently have to fight for those we love battling brain tumors. The race director of this event is very proud and pleased with all participants in the past 8 years who laced up their shoes to battle brain tumors one step at a time for those they love.
Speical Thanks to the 2011 Sponsors

We are proud to be an organization that participates in the “2010 Walk Around the World for Brain Tumors”. The International Brain Tumour Alliance is logging all miles walked for brain tumors between Jan 1 and Nov. 7 of 2010. The goal is to walk around the equator five times! This equates to 200,000 kms, and we are helping the IBTA get closer to their goal. To check out the IBTA or to see other organizations around the world involved in this world walk click on the IBTA logo.
We give a special thanks to the Tug McGraw Foundation as they have been very supportive to this event.
