SAN ANTONIO – Every year, the Head for the Cure event brings together a community of brain cancer patients, survivors, families, friends, caregivers, and supporters. It’s a special occasion where participants come together to honor loved ones, remember those who have sadly passed away, and show their support for people currently battling this challenging disease.

The Head for the Cure events are crucial for raising awareness about brain cancer, a disease that is often misunderstood and requires ongoing advancements in treatment. The funds collected through the 5K runs and other activities support clinical research and programs designed to help patients and their families navigate this journey.
