The Brave Like Gabe Foundation

The Brave Like Gabe Foundation's mission is to raise money for rare cancer research while spreading hope and bravery through physical activity. 

University of Minnesota alumni and professional Brooks athlete Gabriele Grunewald founded the Brave Like Gabe Foundation in 2018. As Gabe trained competitively with a rare cancer diagnosis, she famously coined the phrase, “Running on Hope.” Hope sustained her. It empowered her. She persisted because she dreamed of a world with more treatment options and cures for historically underfunded rare cancers.

Gabe passed away in 2019, after 10 years with a rare salivary gland cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma. Her legacy lives on through the Brave Like Gabe Foundation which has made over $2.25 Million in grants towards rare cancer research.

Will you consider a gift of $140.50 in honor of Gabe and all rare cancer survivors? A gift of any amount will make an enormous difference!

The Brave Like Gabe Foundation is always #RunningOnHope…

“I find the courage to keep running and racing through hope. Hope for a future treatment that might work for me and for others in similar situations. That hope comes from research. You could say I run on hope.” - Gabe Grunewald
