HEADRUSH is a grassroots, solely volunteer run, Madison-based, 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 give-back to their community and also create brain tumor awareness. HEADRUSH proceeds directly benefit the University of Wisconsin Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center in the form of a Brain Tumor Research Professorship. HEADRUSH holds an annual fundraising event at Blue Mound State Park, just 30 minutes Southwest of Madison, that increases awareness of Brain Tumors and their impact, while enjoying the outdoors with family and friends.
