May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month and we are taking the opportunity to be heard and seen a little extra. You can check out our movement challenge on social media and look forward to more updates here on the website.

There hasn't been much activity at EndGlioblastoma.org in recent months, but in the background there still has been some activity:

• Leif Eriksson and his team have made some progress. We will tell you more about that.
  

• We have started an association, "Stoppa Glioblastom", which has been approved by the Swedish Tax Agency. Presentations of the board will be posted both on the website and in social media.
  

• Contributions from private individuals have continued to flow in. Thank you to everyone who is participating! Soon we will announce how much has been received, and make our first transfer to the research team at the University of Gothenburg.

Go Gray in May – do you accept the challenge?

Together we can highlight and support the work to find a cure for glioblastoma. In May we will do so through symbolic and physical joint movement. Plus: Both community and movement have proven positive effects for glioblastoma patients.

Challenges can look different for everyone. Therefore, you get to choose the one that suits you. These are the (not so strict) rules:

1. Our common denominator should be “5”.

2. What you do should include some form of movement/exercise.

3. You can choose whether you activate yourself on your own or gather a whole group. Maybe you want to make a festive event out of it.

4. You are welcome to donate an amount to our collection. 5, 55 or 555 – you both move and donate money according to your own ability. You do not have to tell us about the amount you donate.

5. Please note! Tell us and others what you are doing. Tag us on Instagram and Facebook and use #GrayMay and #GoGrayInMay. Please share our posts too, so we can spread the word and knowledge even more. We will share your post if you tag us: @StoppaGlioblastom.
