Leading the charge for Oligo brain cancer research is Brock Greene, Founder of Oligo Nation.
When Oligo Nation was started 12 years ago, there was zero research focused on Oligo. Today, our mission is driving progress, including the first-ever Oligo immunotherapy trial, the Oligo Working Group, and an upcoming Clinical Trial Network with 10 leading brain tumor centers.
This is why Oligo Day matters. It’s a day to tell the world that we exist, we matter, and that research for this rare brain cancer cannot wait.
Together, we can expand research, launch clinical trials, and move closer to better treatments— and a cure. Share your story using #OligoDay and visit oligoday.org to support our mission.
#BrainTumorAwarenessMonth #oligonation #oligo #oligodendroglioma
1 month until #OligoDay 💙
For six consecutive years, May 17th has become a day where those impacted by oligodendroglioma brain cancer are heard, recognized, and supported.
This movement was created to give Oligo brain cancer and our community the recognition and awareness they deserve.
Over the next 30 days, we’ll be sharing stories from our incredible Oligo brain cancer community on why Oligo Day matters.
⭐ We’re starting with Jodi Kaye, a 16-year survivor and dedicated organizer of the Inspiring Hope New York event.
As we count down, we invite you to share your story using #OligoDay.📱

Meet Kristy and Josh Bottini. In December 2024, Josh was diagnosed with grade II oligodendroglioma. Since then, they’ve shared their journey with the community on Instagram at @hellorhightumor .
“Just being connected with so many people who know exactly what we’re going through has been crazy in the best way possible. We’re so happy to be part of Oligo Nation—and, funny enough, Oligo Day falls on Josh’s birthday, May 17.”
Stories like theirs show why Oligo Day matters. Together, we move closer to better treatments and a cure.

Meet Eliza Caplan @imperfectly_passionate .
In 2023, while moving into a new home with her family, Eliza received a call that changed everything. She was diagnosed with oligodendroglioma.
Three years later, Eliza is using her voice to raise awareness and funds to accelerate research, and find a cure for Oligo.
"What I learned over the last few years is that there's so little research about brain tumors and oligodendrogliomas. And so we really need to fund it. We need people to speak out. We need people to speak for us."
Stories like Eliza’s show why Oligo Day matters. Together, we can fund research, raise awareness, and move closer to better treatments— and a cure.

Meet Julie and Corey Wilson. Corey was diagnosed with oligodendroglioma in 2016. After connecting with Oligo Nation last year, they quickly stepped in to serve on the committee for our first annual Inspiring Hope Houston event. This year, the Wilsons were named Vision of Hope honorees in recognition of their dedication to the mission of finding a cure.
Oligodendroglioma is a rare and under-researched form of brain cancer with limited treatment options. At Oligo Nation, we are working every day to change that by accelerating research and building a community committed to advancing better outcomes for patients and families.
As we begin #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth and look ahead to Oligo Day on May 17th, stories like Julie and Corey’s remind us why this work matters. Share your story using #OligoDay and visit oligoday.org to support our mission.

Meet Brad Mastrine. After his wife was diagnosed with an astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma in 2012, Brad found Oligo Nation—and a community determined to find new treatments and a cure.
More than 20,000 Americans are living with Oligo—most diagnosed in their 20s, 30s, and 40s—disrupting lives and families. Until recently, there was no dedicated research focused on Oligo, but we are changing this.
We launched Oligo Day to tell the world we exist, and we matter. At Oligo Nation, we’re working every day to accelerate research and drive toward a cure for oligodendroglioma.
