Wendy's Story

“I recall the first time I heard about the BT5k. It was just after my craniotomy. At the time I could barely walk three blocks on my own—but getting to the event, meeting other survivors, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the brain tumor community inspired me to become strong enough to participate.”

Wendy Santana, Oligodendroglioma Survivor & BT5k West Community Manager
