Bats for Brains is an annual Wiffle Ball Tournament held in the south suburbs of Chicago intended to raise money for the American Brain Tumor Association.

I was inspired by my younger brother Max, whom at 14, was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor.

 

We had initially received a terrible prognosis, but After two brain surgeries led by some incredible doctors, he is now healed and attending high school! Going through something this serious was a dramatic eye opener for him and our family. The effects physically for him still exist today.

 

Having said all this, We realize Max was a very fortunate young man, and circumstances for so many other families out there are not as fortunate. 

 

We cannot accept defeat from such a terrible disease! Brain tumors can affect us at any age and can develop at any time. We must Fight against this disease together. By donating and participating in this event, people can unite to help donate towards research we hope one day will help alleviate the evil disease!
