OurBrainBank for Glioblastoma

Moving Glioblastoma from terminal to treatable. Powered by patients. OurBrainBank is the first non-profit created by, with, and for people living with Glioblastoma. GBM is an aggressive and rare brain cancer. The 5-year survival rate is 5%.

OBB founder Jessica Morris was diagnosed with GBM in 2016. Frustrated by the paucity of options, she brought together fellow patients, neuro-oncologists, and tech experts to form OBB.

The OBB App helps people manage GBM better by tracking symptoms and activities. It also gives hope, as data donated to qualified GBM researchers worldwide may fast-track new treatments.

Patient-driven data is the new currency in medical research and apps the new empowerment tool for patients. It could potentially have the same impact as a blockbuster new drug.

Sadly OurBrainBank Founder and Chair Jessica Morris died from GBM on June 8, 2021. Please consider a gift to carry on her vision: OurBrainBank.org. New York Times obituary: https://ourbrainbank.org/obituary
