7th Annual Glio-Blastoff 5K
May 8, 2010 @ 9am
Location: University Park on the campus of Eastern Michigan University

This Annual event was organized to honor Denise Kimball and to raise awareness and funds for the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA). 

The Glio-Blastoff 5K has raised more than $42,000 over the past six years for the American Brain Tumor Association.  Each year the event has grown and we expect a record number of participants this year. 

ABTA is a not-for-profit, independent organization. Not affiliated with any one institution, they serve individuals globally and award funds to researchers throughout the United States and Canada. Founded in 1973 out of a desperate need, ABTA exists to eliminate brain tumors through research and to meet the needs of brain tumor patients and their families.

Please make checks payable to ABTA/Glio-Blastoff 5K.  Checks can be submitted the day of the walk or mailed to:
