The Brave Like Gabe Foundation
Non-profit Organizations
The Brave Like Gabe Foundation supports cancer research and empowers all cancer survivors through physical activity.
About us
"Brave Like Gabe” started as a hashtag to support professional runner Gabriele “Gabe” Grunewald as she sought treatment for her third battle with an incurable rare salivary gland cancer in 2017. As a professional runner and rare cancer advocate, Gabe founded The Brave Like Gabe Foundation to share her story, inspire others to connect and do the same, and to make a difference in the cancer community. During her cancer journey, Gabe experienced firsthand many of the challenges faced by rare cancer patients and the need for dedicated research funding. She also felt strongly that running and physical activity were like medicine during all phases of her cancer journey. Gabe passed away in June 2019 and her legacy with the foundation continues to inspire others to share their own struggles while also helping to find better more effective treatments for rare cancer.

We’re #Hiring! 📣🎉 We are super excited to be adding two positions to our team! Both roles will be part time with flexible and hybrid work hours. 💙Director of Individual Giving - We are seeking an experienced individual donor guru to lead the development and implementation of our individual donor program (10-20 hours/week; $30/hour). 💙Peer-to-Peer Manager - We are seeking a fundraising coach for individuals raising money for BLG in several running and endurance events (10-15 hours/week; $20/hour). Our ideal candidates are local to the Twin Cities, but we are open to the right fit for our growing team. We are super excited for how these positions will directly impact our mission to support rare cancer research and empower all cancer survivors through physical activity. Think you’re a good fit for either of these roles? Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eS_t62ew

5 years. 5 years is both forever and no time at all. Here at Brave Like Gabe we have the honor and joy of talking about Gabe every single day. We get to hear from people she’s inspired and do our very best to live up to the legacy she created. Yet, Gabe should be here with us, enjoying summer in Minnesota and planning the 7th annual Brave Like Gabe 5K. And in a sense, she still is. The power of her voice lives on in so many of us and her hope for more research is realized daily here at Brave Like Gabe. These past five years have been eventful, notably highlighted by over $2 Million in rare cancer research funding by Brave Like Gabe. What an incredible impact she continues to have, thanks in part to all of you. “I would love to live in a world where rare cancer patients have more treatment options and ultimately, cures. And if I can’t live in that world, I want to help it become a possibility for future patients.” Gabe, you are deeply missed every single day.
