Part of the mission of GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME (GYHITG) is to introduce brain tumors to the general public through education and
brain tumor awareness efforts. This is a grass roots movement!
The
brain tumor community at large (yourself included!) get to be amazing
ambassadors for the cause. When you wear the gray or orange brain tumor
awareness bracelets, or participate in an event, people are going to ask you
about brain tumors. This is your opportunity to educate them. Here are
some brainy educational tools to help you spread brain tumor awareness.
Our GYHITG website is full of brain tumor “factoids” that you can share.
Neuroscience Resources for Kids
This is a great site for children, with brain games and links to additional brain education.
The Secret Life of the Brain
Learn about the brain from babies, teens, and aging adults. Click "Resources" in each section for more information.
Inside the Brain: An Interactive Tour
Learn more about brain anatomy and associated brain functions. The
location of tumors in the brain is one of the factors that determines
how a brain tumor affects an individual's functioning and what symptoms
the tumor causes.
Brain Boosters
Many categories of challenging brain boosters for all ages.
The Franklin Institute: The Human Brain
Sections with information on how to nourish, protect, exercise, and rest the brain.
What facts do you share to raise brain tumor awareness?
