2022 – Winnipeg – Max's Mission
Captain Max Erenberg raised almost $28,000 for the Winnipeg Brain Tumour Walk!
“Put yourself out there. You never know what can happen. It’s about helping people feel supported throughout their journey, and you know you’re giving that. You can relate, so you’re making a difference that way. Just be confident, and don’t be shy. What an amazing circle of family and friends I have, and people I don’t even know!”.
Max's Mission
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.

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.
