ABOUT BRAIN TUMOUR WALK EVENTS

2022 & COVID-19
For the safety of our vulnerable community, COVID-19 guidelines, and limitations set by venues, we will not be holding large in-person events in 2022. However, we are committed to connecting the brain tumour community across Canada and creating a national movement to end brain tumours.

What is the Brain Tumour Walk Weekend?
The Brain Tumour Walk Weekend is our largest volunteer-led, peer-to-peer fundraising event, to raise money to fund brain tumour research, compassionate support services, trusted information, and advocacy to help brain tumour patients and survivors live longer, better, and with hope.
There are no registration fees, no fundraising minimums, and all are welcome to join and make a difference. You can walk individually or as a team. You choose the time, the route and how you want to make an impact.

When is the Brain Tumour Walk Weekend?
This year, instead of one national walk day, the Brain Tumour Walk will be held over a full weekend, to better accommodate different time zones, schedules, and weather!
The Brain Tumour Walk Weekend, June 17, 2022 – June 19, 2022, is an opportunity to come together across Canada to celebrate and remember your heroes. We walk with a united goal – to see an end to brain tumours. No matter where you walk (or how you take your steps) you will be making a difference, and this will surely be a weekend you’ll be saving lives.
