Brendan Gallagher's mother Della suffers from glioblastoma, a devastating brain tumor with a poor prognosis.
This brain tumor is known for its virulence and very high recurrence rate. According to the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada, the median survival time for such a pathology is 14.6 months.

Inspired by his mother's story, Brendan's sister Bree Gallagher launched an online campaign to raise funds for cancer research in Canada. The goal is $2000.
“We were fortunate enough to send our mother to KECK Medical Center at the University of Southern California,” Bree Gallagher said. I cannot express how grateful we are for the incredible care she was able to receive at this facility. […] A patient in Canada simply does not have access to the treatments my mother receives. This experience made me realize the complexity of the healthcare system.”
The campaign runs until May 6th. You can make a donation by clicking the link below.
