Wheeling for Hope, a local non-profit 501C charity, continues to raise much needed funds for adult and pediatric brain tumor research and patient support services at UAB and Children’s of Alabama. The charity raised and donated $33,000 this year.

Donations have provided such items as educational materials for patients and families, funds to sponsor children for Camp Smile-a-Mile, new research lab equipment, and funds to support brain tumor research efforts.

Cathie Robinson, research nurse coordinator for the Department of Neurosurgery, serves as the president of Wheeling for Hope and has been very instrumental in fund raising for the charity and bringing awareness to brain tumors.
