At the end of October 2012 Mary Park was vibrant and full of life. She was taking long walks with her husband Bill, playing competitive tennis and studying the progress of the presidential campaign. But within a few short weeks, a very aggressive brain cancer had taken her. The loss and grief affected not only her family but her many friends as well.
Mary’s family learned that while the speed of Mary’s cancer was rare, brain cancer had affected families of many of their close friends and associates. Although that knowledge didn’t ease the family’s grief, it raised the realization of how little awareness and understanding there is of the devastating effects of brain cancer. They are creating a campaign to increase awareness of the frequency and severity of many brain cancers and raise funds for more effective treatments to speed the day when the diagnosis of brain cancer isn’t so dire.
The campaign combines two related annual activities. A memorial race, Miles For Mary on November 9, 2013 and a research symposium explaining Innovations in Brain Cancer Research and Treatment on November 12, 2013. Both will be held in Marblehead Massachusetts.
Races are more fun with friends - and can be rewarding, too!
