More than 700,000 people in the United States are living with the diagnosis of a primary brain tumor, and 69,000 more will be diagnosed this year. Approximately 4,300 children younger than age 20 will be diagnosed each year. On Saturday, April 27, thousands of people from across the country will gather on Duke's Medical Center Campus at the corner of Erwin Road and Flowers Drive to raise money for brain tumor research. The 31st annual Angels Among Us 5K and Walk of HOPE will begin with a 5K run followed by entertainment, children's activities, food, and fun for the entire family. A ceremony will begin the walk of hope through the Duke University Medical Campus and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens.
Proceeds from the event support the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. Visit www.angelsamongus.org to learn more.
