COBB COUNTY, Ga. — The National Brain Tumor Society is hosting its annual 5K walk/run to raise awareness and funds to support the needs of brain tumor patients and their families.
It’s a cause that is close to the hearts of the WSB-TV family.
Channel 2’s Jovita Moore died in Oct. 2021 after a battle with glioblastoma, the most common type of brain cancer. At this time, there is no cure for glioblastoma, only treatments to slow it down.
The NBTS hosted the first annual Georgia Brain Tumor Walk & Race at the Battery Atlanta in 2023. The 5K race will return this year at the Battery on Saturday, April 25.
