From the Organizer

Fast Track to a Cure 5K brings together survivors, families, friends, and community members to raise awareness and support research for oligodendroglioma — a rare form of brain cancer. Whether you have been personally affected by brain cancer or want to support an important cause, every step helps move us closer to more research, better treatments and long-term survivorship!

About One of Our Survivors, Stanley...

In March 2021, Stanley Currier (a resident of Marina Bay) suddenly experienced 2 grand mal seizures, and was diagnosed with Grade 3 oligodendroglioma. Soon after, the Currier family teamed up with Oligo Nation and launched the first Fast Track to a Cure 5K to help advance research and accelerate the development of more effective treatments. 

A Community United for a Cure

The Fast Track to a Cure event in the Bay Area has since grown, involving more families, friends and caring community members. Come walk or run with us! This year’s event introduces optional race timing while keeping the event fun and welcoming for everyone.  We look forward to seeing you participate live or virtually at the 6th Fast Track to a Cure Bay Area this September!
