Dear friends of Rose Buddies and the international brain tumour community,
Warmest greetings from around the world!
Your activity keeping track of your every-day walked mileage during the International Brain Tumour Awareness Week (26 October to 1 November) will make its mark on the global brain tumour community and help to raise awareness about brain tumours, one of the most devastating of all cancers and one of the most neglected.
The combined distance you cover walking with your pedometers could help us to reach our target of three times around the world at the Equator - 120,000 kms. We are almost there. People just like you have already walked a combined distance of 106,000 kms in the United States, in Canada, in Australia, and in Europe.
Good luck and warmest wishes for every success. Keep on walking! Each and every step you take is one step closer to a cure for brain tumours.
Kindest regards,
Denis Strangman, Chair (Canberra, Australia)
and
Kathy Oliver, Secretary (Surrey, United Kingdom)
