About Me

Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net

HEADRUSH is a fundraising event that increases awareness of Brain Tumors and their impact, while enjoying the outdoors with family and friends. HEADRUSH is a non-profit organization whose mission is to significantly improve the future of Brain Tumor research, treatment, and survivorship. HEADRUSH was originally created in 2004 by Chris and Brandi Funk. Chris is a young 30-something living with brain cancer, and he and his wife wanted to put together a fun event that would "give back" to their community and also create brain tumor awareness. HEADRUSH proceeds directly benefit the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center in the form of a Brain Tumor Research Professorship.
