How many of us take for granted the "little" things in life...a smile, a warm summer day, a sunset? What if one day your life and the lives of your family were changed forever in one moment? The diagnosis of a brain tumor can be that moment. Suddenly, the "little" things are the most precious. The love of family and friends is priceless, the financial stress of a life-altering illness is not. In times of need, no gift is too small. Christine's Crusade is an organization whose mission is, in part, to provide comfort to Christine (Gross) Skidds and her family as she battles a brain tumor. All of the money you give will go directly to Christine and her family. Please open your heart today and help us in this cause. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Brain Tumor
Facts & Statistics from
Each year more than 200,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor. Primary brain tumors comprise approximately 40,000 of these diagnoses.
Brain tumors are the leading cause of solid tumor cancer death in children under the age of 20, now surpassing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). They are the second leading cause of cancer death in male adults ages 20-29 and the fifth leading cause of cancer death in female adults ages 20-39.
Metastatic brain tumors, cancer that spreads from other parts of the body to the brain, are the most common types of brain tumors. They occur in 10-15% of people with cancer. Primary brain tumors generally do not metastasize to other parts of the body.
At this time, brain tumor research is underfunded and the public remains unaware of the magnitude of this disease. The cure rate for most brain tumors is significantly lower than that for many other types of cancer.
