Donate Now to Support Brain Tumor Research

Every year over 86,000 Americans are living with a primary brain tumor. Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in males aged 20-39 and the 5th leading cause of death in women aged 20-39. They are also the 2nd most common solid tumor in children.

Sadly, Mark Linder lost his battle in 2005 at the age of 31 but not before he got to see his vision making a difference. Re-named after his death, the Mark Linder Walk for the Mind now attracts over 1000 participants from all over Central Illinois. Our 21st year Walk for the Mind is Saturday, September 30, 2023 in which all net proceeds will be donated to the “Brain Tumor Research Program” at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria.
