We're building our next three-year strategic plan, and we want your voice at the centre of it. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, healthcare provider, donor, or advocate, your insights will help shape the programs, resources, and support we offer across Canada. This is more than planning, it is a chance to reimagine how we deliver on our mission together. You can share your feedback through a survey, join a virtual focus group, or submit comments anytime via our open webform. Your voice matters.

Ben’s full-circle journey from survivor to advocate
Ben Seewald is passionate about his work as a support services specialist at Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, where he helps children, youth and families managing a brain tumour diagnosis find resources and community.
Growing up with a brain tumour
Amber Gunderson was only seven years old when she began experiencing severe headaches. “Terrible, mind-numbing, painful blackouts, as well as seeing stars,” she describes.
Running through it
Kayla Krahn has just returned from a run, her four-year-old son, Ben, energetically jumping behind her. Healthy and active, Kayla is also a brain tumour survivor, having had her life turned upside down only a few short years ago.
