The Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation is excited to hold our 2016 CBTF Superheroes 5K Walk/run and Kids’ Fun Run. Join us for this family friendly 5k walk/run and help make a difference!  In past years, supporters have been phenomenal and always appreciated by team captains, families, and CBTF.  This event is held in loving memory of children who fought bravely and superhero survivors that fight against brain tumors. 

An estimated 4,620 children are expected to be diagnosed with primary malignant and non-malignant brain tumors in the US this year. Although 69% of these children survive, they are typically left with serious, long-term side effects that vastly affect their quality of life. Sadly, some types of children's brain tumors, survival rates are still below 20%.
