Gabriele Grunewald, a professional runner and rare cancer advocate, founded the Brave Like Gabe Foundation to inspire people to share stories of being brave through their own struggles while also helping to find better and more effective treatments for rare cancer.
"Brave Like Gabe” started as a hashtag to support professional runner Gabriele “Gabe” Grunewald as she sought treatment for her third battle with an incurable rare salivary gland cancer in 2017.
While this year is definitely not the same without Gabe, we are inspired by and grateful for your help in inspiring this community to keep #runningonhope and work to find better and more effective treatments for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and other types of rare cancer. Proceeds for this event will be donated to Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Research Foundation to support studies dedicated to how the immune system might better recognize and attack ACC tumor cells.
#MyBraveStory
Being #BraveLikeMeg means advocating for yourself and for others. Meg was misdiagnosed for years but she kept pushing to make herself heard. She hopes to encourage and inspire others to do the same when they know something isn’t right
Your donations go towards finding better and more effective treatments for rare cancers. Thank you for helping advance Gabe's mission and legacy by supporting rare cancer research and encouraging people to keep going by running on hope.
The Brave Like Gabe Foundation board has officially launched a search for our next executive director. Hiring this full-time staff person will help us broaden our ability to support rare cancer research and support cancer survivors and others #runningonhope through physical activity.
