Nominations Open for The End Brain Cancer Initiative’s 2024 National HOPE Award Disease Education, Awareness & Outreach

REDMOND, WA, USA, March 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nominations Open for The End Brain Cancer Initiative’s 2024 National HOPE Award Disease Education, Awareness & Outreach Campaign

Every May for over a decade, the End Brain Cancer Initiative (EBCI) has presented the National HOPE Award to a brain cancer patient who inspires us with their courage and hope in the face of this devastating disease. This disease education, awareness and outreach campaign is made possible by the presenting sponsor Novocure.

The End Brain Cancer Initiative (EBCI) established the National HOPE Award to highlight exceptional people with brain cancer and their inspiring stories. “To me, HOPE is determination. I make HOPE happen,” said Jenn Ortiz, the 2023 National HOPE Award Runner-up who has been battling Glioblastoma (GBM) brain cancer for nearly four years. Since being nominated last year, Jenn has dedicated herself to advocating for brain cancer patients and inspiring hope in others. “I don’t take NO for an answer. A closed door is just an opportunity, and I encourage those in the industry to take the same approach," she said.

You can nominate a brain cancer patient for the National HOPE Award at endbraincancer.org/hope-award. The deadline for submitting nominations is April 17, 2024.

The National HOPE Award disease education, awareness and outreach campaign is made possible by presenting sponsor Novocure and other patient disease education sponsors.
