Walk, stroll, roll, run...together we are stronger!
The Children's Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) is the nation’s leader in quality of life programs for children and families affected by brain and spinal tumors. We are asking some of our key partners to rally their friends, family, and networks to support CBTF's important work. By supporting a Family & Friends Walk Team, you will have a direct impact on children diagnosed with brain and spinal tumors and their families.
All of the funds raised will support CBTF programming that has helped thousands of survivors and families. Your efforts can help us reach thousands more. CBTF is committed to improving the treatment, quality of life, and long-term outlook for children and families affected by a brain or spinal cord tumor. We want to make sure that no family goes through this journey alone.
Hi everyone! My name is Kasheen (Kash) Perdue and I am 21 years old. I just wanted to start out by thanking Dayton Children's for how great they were to me. I have battled with VHL (Von Hippel Lindau) ever since my Grandma and Father passed away at around 2 years old from complications of VHL. In November 2020, I began to get worsening headaches and I started throwing up from them in December. Eventually, Dr. Lober was able to give me surgery in January 2021 to remove the tumor in my brain that was causing the headaches. On Easter of last year, I was jumping rope and stopped early because I felt tired and lightheaded. I ran to the bathroom because I needed to vomit and after that I got sweaty, and I felt like I was going to pass out. My sister ended up calling 911 and after arriving at the local hospital, I was CareFlighted to Dayton Children's. Looking at me today, you would never be able to tell what I was like last year. I like to think of myself as a miracle as I had a brain stem stroke, and I was on the edge of death. Words will never be able to describe this experience, but I would love to write a book about my life and my experiences in the hospital. Some of my nurses inspired me to do so, so one day I'd like to make that happen. I also want to thank everyone at Dayton Children's for taking such great care of me. With their help, I am able to look back and smile. Also, I want to thank my friends and my family for helping me become the person I am today. Finally, my mother deserves a special shout out because without her love and motivation, I would not be the person I am today.
