Again we will have the Wall of Honor set up on race day. The Wall of Honor is a way of honoring brain tumor survivors and remembering those who have gone on.  Bring memoirs on the morning of the race to display on the Wall of Honor.  We welcome photographs and/or stories about your own experience with brain tumor or those of loved ones who have been touched by brain tumor.  Please remember to take home your memoirs at the end of the day. 

The Wall of Honor

The purpose of the SBTF Race for Research is to raise much-needed funds for brain tumor research and for support for patients and their families who have been affected by brain tumors. In 2007, SBTF awarded a total of $270,000 for three innovative brain tumor research projects at leading institutions in the Southeast.
