Based in New York, Voices Against Brain Cancer is a non-profit organization started by the Lichtenstein family in loving memory of their son and brother, Gary Lichtenstein. Gary was only 24 when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and lost his battle with brain cancer in 2003. Not long after his passing, his parents and siblings founded Voices Against Brain Cancer to raise money and awareness for the fight against this disease.
Founder Mario Lichtenstein explains that the charity is not just about their family, but about all the families worldwide who are experiencing what they've gone through. The mission of Voices Against Brain Cancer is to find a cure for brain cancer by increasing awareness within the medical community; advancing scientific research; and supporting those affected by the illness, including patients, their families, and caregivers.
At present, few people are aware of the magnitude of brain cancer and brain tumor research remains underfunded. Voices Against Brain Cancer exists to change this.
