Our Work

Mark Linder Walk for the Mind was created to be a presence in Central Illinois to promote awareness of brain tumors and raise funds for research.

Ways to Volunteer

Our mission is to continue an annual walk to raise awareness of brain tumors and their impact on those in Central Illinois. There are many misconceptions about those who have or had tumors. Many people are not aware of their tumors, blaming symptoms on other possible causes.

Additionally, funds will be raised for research into treatment and cures for the various know brain tumors. Research currently includes surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, medication, and other possible treatments and therapies.

We also will remember and honor those lost to brain tumors, their families, friends and loved ones and celebrate those who have survived.

Volunteer opportunities consist of assisting and preparing for the Walk event such as t-shirt fold day, stuffing goody bags, and set up Assistance Day of Walk such as helping with registration, t-shirt distribution, face-painting/children's games, "traffic" control, selling raffle tickets at the raffle station, clean-up, and more!
