Condolences to the family, friends, and staff of @LindseyGrahamSC. Sen. Graham was a champion for #glioblastoma research, & he truly cared about families facing this disease. With #GBMday on July 15, may his legacy inspire all of us to work together to find a cure with urgency.

We are shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, lead sponsor — and original author — of the Glioblastoma (GBM) Awareness Day resolution and steadfast champion for those affected by GBM.

This morning, my family and I were honored to share my beloved Patty’s story and journey at the National Brain Tumor Society’s race in Arlington, TX. Her spirit and resolve were unlike any other in the fight against glioblastoma, and we carry that strength with us every day. Thank you to our friends and all those who joined us in this fight against a disease that has affected many families just like mine. We will continue working to find a cure for this devastating disease.
