Mission Statement

My goal is to bring, much needed, awareness of Brain Cancer/Tumors to the Jacksonville community and raise funds for research efforts in treating and curing (hopefully ending) brain cancer! We are very excited to announce that Waves of Gray has continued its partnership with Baptist/MD Anderson this year. All the proceeds will benefit the Waves of Gray Neuro-Oncology Endowment supporting research programs at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, Florida.

Description

The Waves of Gray - 5K Brain Cancer/Tumor Awareness Walk was created in memory of Fred K. Fenton II. Fred lost his battle with brain cancer (glioblastoma) in November 2016. When he was sick, our family felt extremely helpless as caregivers often do. This walk is our way to unite the Jacksonville brain tumor community, bring awareness to this horrible disease & raise funds for brain cancer/tumor research. Waves of Gray has partnered with Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center. 100% of all funds raised will benefit the Waves of Gray Neuro-Oncology Endowment supporting research programs through Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, Florida.
