Brain cancer affects people of all ages, from young children to older adults. It occurs when abnormal cells grow in the brain, impacting essential functions like memory, speech and movement. Treatment is often complex, requiring surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Events like the Blazer Bolt help fund research and patient care, providing hope for those fighting the disease.
