Helping to Build Hope
The Michael Quinlan Brain Tumor Foundation is dedicated to empowering those persons who have been affected by brain tumors. The Foundation provides support through educational, emotional, financial, and spiritual services.
Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the Foundation was formed in April of 2001 in memory of Michael J. Quinlan who passed away from an aggressive cancerous brain tumor called Glioblastoma or commonly referred to as a GBM. Mike lived for 10 1/2 months after diagnosis and was 45 years old when he passed. Receiving so much hope, encouragement and comfort from friends and the community at large during his journey, the family wanted to return the goodwill.
For any brain tumor patient, the journey is not easy and not one to undertake alone. The Michael Quinlan Brain Tumor Foundation is composed of survivors, family members and friends who are willing to travel with you.
We welcome you to our network of friends and family sharing hope and providing support.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax deductible organization.
