Wondering why we’re on a mission to move?

Physical health and exercise are universally important. RAWF's Moving For A Mission initiative encourages physical activity for our rare brain tumor community, while raising crucial awareness and funds for the Raymond A. Wood Foundation's research, education, and direct service programs.

Support our rare brain tumor community by making a gift today! Many survivors have to live with hypothalamic obesity and metabolic challenges caused by hypothalamic-pituitary brain tumors, making physical health and exercise that much more important…life-saving even. Similarly for caregivers, movement can be transformative for their mental health. In a study published by the RAWF team, it was confirmed that up to 80% of caregivers may be at risk for depression. Physical activity can help caregivers navigate chronic stress and combat isolation while improving overall health.

And, if you're on a mission to move with us, it’s so simple to get started!

Pick time and fundraising goals that feel right for you. We suggest 100 minutes per person and a $1,000 fundraising goal to start. But, this may vary depending on how you plan to move…walking, running, cycling, etc. Whatever is best for you!
