In this episode brain tumor blogger and advocate, Wendy Santana returns to share how helping others ended up playing a major role in her own healing.  She shares how sharing her story has helped her and other globally. She talks about how she utilizes her blog, “2nd Chance 2 Live” as a resource and a platform to elevate other brain tumor and cancer survivors.  She provides details about the four incredible individuals she has met through her interviews and awareness efforts who have since lost their lives to the most aggressive form of brain cancer, GBM. This leads to a discussion about the need for breakthroughs since there isn’t a cure for brain cancer. Wendy and Todd (along with other brain tumor survivors) are representing team “2nd Chance 2 Live” for the upcoming BT5K (Breakthrough for Brain Tumors 5K run/walk) on 11/5/22.  The goal is to raise money for the American Brain Tumor Association to continue providing free patient/caregiver support and information along with research grants around the country (and beyond). Since 2006 the BT5K events have raised over $33 million for brain tumor research and patient support services.
