🌟 Join us for “A Day of Hope” in Santa Monica this Saturday, October 26! 🌟 Maria Quiban meteorologist for #GoodDayLA and author of “You Can’t Do It Alone,” sat down with Wendy Santana ABTA’s Western Region Community Manager, to talk about the LA BT5K and why this event matters. Maria also spoke with Timothy Cloughesy (the UCLA Health neuro-oncologist who treated her late husband’s brain cancer), shedding light on the urgent need for brain tumor research. With over one million people living with a brain tumor, this cause is close to our hearts. Despite being the fifth-most common cancer, brain cancer research remains one of the least funded. Don’t miss your chance to make a difference! There’s a 5K run, and proceeds from The Lobster restaurant and Cirque du Soleil tickets will directly support life-changing research.
