The Vision

Breakthroughs in brain cancer research create a future where no one’s quality of life is defined by their diagnosis.

The Achievement

In a little over 1 year, the Foundation was able to raise $100,000 for a research fund supporting critical advancements in brain cancer research on treatment, therapies, and care.

We are grateful for our donors’ generocity, which has fueled our passion for our mission, drives us to grow our efforts, and provides us the support necessary to accomplish future funding milestones and have a tangible impact in our communities.

The Inspiration

“She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails…”

Elizabeth Edwards

Elizabeth Schilling was our warrior and remains our inspiration, today. She persevered in the face of two, rare forms of cancer, commited to maintaining her lifestyle and achieving professional success despite her diagnosis. Her legacy drives our hope that one day, a brain cancer diagnosis does not impact one’s quality of, or outlook on, life.

The quote above comes from the book, Resilience by Elizabeth Edwards, and perfectly captures the philosophy and adaptability LIz, as she was known by friends, lived with every day.

The Mission
