Brain Tumor Patient Advocates Share Messages of Hope

Patient advocates Adam Hayden and Kimberly Wallgren work tirelessly to support those living with brain and spine tumors. Hayden was diagnosed with a glioblastoma in 2016, and since then he has become a nationally recognized advocate for others with central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Wallgren cared for her late father after he was diagnosed with an ependymoma, and today she is the executive director of the Collaborative Ependymoma Research Network (CERN) Foundation, a program of the National Brain Tumor Society. In this video, Hayden and Wallgren discuss the challenges of being a brain cancer survivor, their hopes for brain cancer research, and partnering with NCI-CONNECT (Comprehensive Oncology Network Evaluating Rare CNS Tumors).
