In the United States, I have partnered with the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA). ABTA exists to eliminate brain tumors through research and to meet the needs of brain tumor patients and their families. They are well-respected and highly regarded in the brain tumor community as the premier resource for information and support services for brain tumor patients and their families. Their research funding over the past three decades has helped to bring a wealth of knowledge about brain tumors to the forefront. Last year, ABTA awarded $1.5 million for brain tumor research across the United States and Canada.

The Ironman World Championship took place on October 15, 2005 in Kona, Hawaii. I have partnered with the American Brain Tumor Association for my 2006 charity projects to fund their brain tumor research and patient services programs. If you would like to make a donation, please click here.

Matching Gifts
Many employers will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Check to see if your employer has a matching gift program. Companies differ in their policies, but if the American Brain Tumor Association meets their qualifications, it means more funding for their programs with your donation.
