Hosted by the National Brain Tumor Society, this event is designed to raise icy-cold water awareness and much-needed resources for brain tumor-specific programs and research. It's the first of its kind in Connecticut. 

I'll be speaking on my recovery from a glioblastoma multiforme, the inspiring people I've met since getting involved with the National Brain Tumor Society, and the crucial nature of funds for research on this ruthless disease.
