OurStoryBank — showcases the diverse stories of our community.
Whether you want to share your own personal experience living with GBM, caring for someone, or if you lost a loved to this deadly disease, we are a listening ear, and a megaphone to our supportive community.
Glioblastoma is a terrible disease and affects each person differently. Sharing your experience with diagnosis, treatments, logistics, and emotions may help others facing the same journey. We will package your submission into posts for our social media. To join the project, please use this form to send us a photo and a short (200 words) text with the name and life dates (as appropriate).
Here is an example with our founder, Jessica Morris.
