For many patients battling brain cancer, accessing the best possible care often means traveling to specialized medical centers far from home. Institutions like the Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota Medical Center are at the forefront of brain cancer research and treatment, offering advanced therapies and clinical trials not available elsewhere. However, the financial and logistical burdens of travel can be significant, encompassing not just transportation but also accommodation, meals, and other expenses, often over extended periods.

The Kristi Bishop Travel Grant addresses this critical need, providing financial assistance to patients and their families, ensuring that the best possible treatment is within reach, regardless of geographic location. This support is not just about alleviating financial stress; it’s about offering hope, reducing barriers to care, and honoring the journey of every individual facing this formidable challenge.
