7th Annual Glio-Blastoff 5K - May 8, 2010 In loving memory of Denise Kimball. Come run or walk to remember those lost, help those fighting, and to celebrate those who won their fight against brain tumors! Come run, walk, or volunteer at the 7th Annual Glio-Blastoff 5K taking place on Saturday, May 8, 2010. Online registration will begin in Jan. and the earlier you register, the more you save! This event has raised over $41,000 in the last 6 years donated to the American Brain Tumor Association to help advance brain tumor research. 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 6 years who laced up their shoes to battle brain tumors one step at a time for those they love.
Speical Thanks to the 2009 Sponsors

We are proud to be an organization that participates in the “2009 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 2009. 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. The 6th Annual Glio-Blastoff 5K had a total of 130 walkers, which totals 650 kilometers. 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.
