08 Jun
This commemoration day was initialized by the Deutsche Hirntumorhilfe e.V. (German Brain Tumor Association) in 2000. Because brain tumors occur rather seldom in comparison to other cancers, they are little-noticed by the public.
The goal is to direct international public attention to people that are confronted with this serious disease and the urgent need for more research. Every year on this day there are a wide variety of events taking place around the world.
