About the Nick Gonzales Foundation
Founded in 2007 to commemorate Nick, a cherished husband, father, son, brother, and friend, the Nick Gonzales Foundation for Brain Tumor Research strives to shed light on brain cancer, specifically Glioblastoma (GBM). Nick’s unexpected diagnosis of stage IV GBM had a profound impact on his family, marked by the absence of any family history and the oversight of early warning signs. View our two objectives below.

Despite significant progress in addressing breast, lung, prostate, and colon-rectal cancers, advancements in the early diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors have lagged. Our firm belief is that directing more attention and research toward understanding the causes of brain tumors, as well as developing more effective treatment options, is crucial for enhancing the life expectancy and quality of life for survivors.
