What is the charity you chose to represent?

The charity I chose to represent was The American Brain Tumor Association. I chose this association because both my best friend from third grade and my moms’ best friend were diagnosed with brain tumors in the last 4 years. It was a struggle watching two people so close to my family have to deal with such a traumatic experience. In honor of Emily, and Lisa I chose a non-profit organization that wants to advance the understanding and treatment of brain tumors, with the goal of saving the lives of many other people affected by this diagnosis.
