The future of brain tumor research is still being written. In 2025, the American Brain Tumor Association invested more than $1.3 million in research—advancing how brain tumors are understood, diagnosed, and treated. But there’s more to be done. Families need better answers. Researchers need continued support. Because every investment moves us closer to hope.

A brain tumor diagnosis changes a lot. What we’re seeing in the ABTA AYA Meetup Group (for ages 18–39 diagnosed with a brain tumor) is that growth doesn’t stop—it just looks different. Three simple practices emerging from these conversations: • Reconnecting with a sense of future • Navigating relationships with more clarity • Rebuilding trust with your body 👉 bit.ly/4dwRSDI
