We lost our beloved mother Gayle Ann Sheldon on October 19, 2007. She succumbed to Glioblastoma Multiforme IV, an extremely aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer. Unfortunately, it is the most common form of brain tumor in adults, accounting for 52% of all primary brain tumor cases and 20% of all intracranial tumors.
Gayle's hope and request was to raise awareness of Glioblastoma and to help patients and their families that are affected by the disease. To honor her memory, we have organized the Gayle Sheldon Memorial Foundation for Brain Cancer, Inc.
