You can find connections and lean on others who have experienced the diagnosis of a brain tumour.
What is the Cup of Hope?
The Cup of Hope is awarded annually to the top Brain Tumour Walk fundraising team in Canada. Your team’s name, city, and winning year will be engraved on the main trophy and displayed at Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada for all to see! As the captain, your team’s name, city, and winning year will be engraved on your very keepsake trophy that we will send to you! All registered members of the winning team will also receive a “Top Team” ribbon to wear proudly at next year’s event. Your support means the world to thousands of Canadians currently living with brain tumours. Because of your team’s fundraising, people affected by a brain tumour will live longer, better and with hope!
Previous Cup of Hope Recipients
2021 – Greater Vancouver Regional District – Team Tayler
Captain James Hutton and his Team Tayler raised over $34,000, on behalf of James’ daughter, Tayler.
2020 – Sault Ste. Marie – Brain Stormers
In the Sault Ste. Marie home of Kyleigh Provenzano, the coveted Cup of Hope sits high on a shelf, safely away from the hands of three curious little girls.
Provenzano led the nation in fundraising for the 2020 Virtual Brain Tumour Walk, bringing in nearly $40,000 for Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and creating a local movement in the process.
Brain Stormers
2019 - Hamilton-Niagara - Team Hayden
Eyes might be the window to the soul, but in Hayden’s case, they were telling her Mom that something was seriously wrong with her baby. Hayden’s Mom, Candice, is forever grateful to the ER physician who spotted her brain tumour and the health care professional team who subsequently saved her eyesight. Candice is now advocating for every parent to look to the eyes.
Hayden's Story
2018 - Toronto - Team Stephanie
Stephanie knows how difficult treating a rare brain tumour can be all too well. At age 38, the mother of twins was diagnosed with an extremely rare and inoperable brain tumour – a rosette-forming glioneuronal tumour that little is known about, and cannot be removed due to its location.
This reality does not stop Stephanie from her tireless advocacy or incredible fundraising efforts.

“My father, George, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in January 2021. After a relentless battle he passed at the end of May 2021. The swiftness and severity of this disease has left my family and I stunned with an unfillable hole in our hearts. My dad, a lover of the outdoors, would be so happy that we can do something active outside to support this cause.”![]()

Two days after finding out that I was pregnant with our family’s first grandchild, my brother was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The following day he had surgery and today, he is married, has a child of his own, has a pilot’s license and enjoys a healthy life. We continue to walk every year, to share our beautiful story and to help others gain hope, and eventually have the same story of survival as ours.”![]()
