About us
Every day, 27 Canadians are diagnosed with a brain tumour. Brain tumours are unpredictable and complex. They don’t discriminate and affect people of all ages and backgrounds. They can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Its effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. Lifting this burden for anyone affected is our goal. You donation will make an impact on brain tumours’ vast reach when you give today. Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is the only national organization dedicated to providing support, education, information and research to the estimated 55,000 Canadians affected by a brain tumour. We are a dedicated team of volunteers, patients, survivors, family members, health care professionals and staff, determined to make the journey with a brain tumour one full of hope and support. We work collaboratively to serve the needs of those Canadians affected by all types of brain tumours. Every year, thousands of Canadians affected by brain tumours find emotional support and comfort while gaining a better understanding and knowledge of their disease through a range of programs and services available across the country. This includes: up-to-date brain tumour information material, numerous education events and support groups. Important brain tumour research is also supported through annual grants, a fellowship and the Brain Tumour Tissue Bank.

Meet Ryan Burris, a brain tumour survivor from Campbellton, New Brunswick, and a recipient of one of our 2023 Youth Education Awards. Ryan is pursuing health sciences at the University of Moncton with an inspiring goal: to become a doctor and help sick children in need, as he was once a patient at the IWK hospital in Halifax.💙 After completing his first year, Ryan shared this heartfelt message: "I want to say a huge thank you for the bursary. Your support made a big difference this school year by easing the financial stress, which allowed me to focus more on my studies. It’s been an exciting and challenging year, and your help meant I could get more involved in my classes and activities as a pre-med student. This experience has brought me closer to my dream of working in healthcare, and I’m truly grateful for your generosity. Thank you for believing in me and helping me along this path." Congratulations, Ryan! We are so proud to support you on your journey to make a difference in the lives of others. 🎓 #YouthEducationAwards #BrainTumourSurvivor #FutureDoctor #EndBrainTumours
