Will you go gray in May with us?


Hello Reader,

It's hard to believe we are in the last week of April and our 2nd Annual Brave Like McKenna Golf Tournament is happening this Friday, May 1st.

May 1st is also the start of Brain Tumor Awareness Month, and for our community, this month comes with purpose and passion to honor McKenna and anyone who has ever had to fight a brain tumor.

McKenna was diagnosed with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) which is a rare and aggressive pediatric brain tumor and she fought an incredibly brave battle that no child should have to endure.

McKenna is the reason Brave Like McKenna exists.
Her journey.
Her light.
Her story.
Her legacy.

This foundation was created in her honor, and in honor of every child and family walking the unimaginable road of a cancer diagnosis.

🤍 Go Gray in May with us!

Throughout the month of May, we invite you to join us in “Going Gray” to raise awareness for brain tumors and support the families who are living this reality every single day.

Wearing gray is a simple but powerful way to:

  • Honor those like McKenna who have received a brain tumor diagnosis
  • Help us raise awareness for brain tumors and show support to those they have impacted

We are bringing back our Go Gray in May shirts to help spread awareness and support our mission.

Every purchase helps us continue providing support to families facing pediatric cancer while also bringing much-needed awareness.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us, to remember McKenna, and to support families navigating this journey.

We hope you'll join us in May to spread awareness and love. 🤍
