Dr. Susan C. Pannullo Chairs Inaugural New York Brain Tumor Walk to Raise $1 Million
On Saturday, June 18, 2011, National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) board member Dr. Susan C. Pannullo, Director of Neuro-Oncology and Neurosurgical Radiosurgery at The Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, will steer the first New York-based Brain Tumor Walk to be held on Governors Island. The all-ages 5K event is one of nine walks that will take place in other US cities during the year to raise awareness and funds for brain tumor research. Team Cornell will be led by volunteers from The Brain and Spine Center who will walk in support of the $1 million fundraising goal for innovative research and services to help the more than 210,000 adults and children diagnosed with brain tumors each year in the US. Brain tumors are the leading cause of solid tumor cancer death in children under 20 years of age and the second leading cause of cancer death in young adults 20- to 39-years of age.
Dr. Pannullo is also Research Chair for the NBTS, a nonprofit organization that funds strategic research and delivers support services to address quality-of-life issues for those affected by brain tumors. Over the past 3 years, the NBTS has funded more than $10 million in brain cancer research.
