About Utah Brain Tumor Alliance
Utah Brain Tumor Alliance hosts Utah Go Grey in May 5K along with the Musella
Foundation. This non-profit organization was recently created to provide local resources to brain tumor patients and their families. Our goal is to educate patients to advocate for the best treatment options to have the best quality of life. By connecting patients to support groups, brain tumor conferences, information about treatments, etc., the goal is to help patients deal with their diagnosis. We work with other local cancer organizations such as Utah Cancer Action Network, Cancer Wellness House and others to provide a variety of resources. We also work with other brain tumor organizations nationally in addition to the Musella Foundation. Find out more about us and see past race photos at: www.gogreyinmay5k.shutterfly.com
