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.

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.

In 2019, Gabe bravely announced her mantra as "Until further notice, celebrate everything," which carries a profound message. Those who knew Gabe could confirm that she genuinely found joy in every moment. Whether it was a run, fresh snowfall, the sea, or her birthday. This June, we encourage you to embrace every little joy. We aim to raise funds for rare cancer research and motivate others to keep running on hope. Our target is to raise $38,000 in June in memory of Gabe's 38th birthday. Stay tuned for all the ways we’ll be inviting you to celebrate with us! #celebrateeverything #bravelikegabe #runningonhope #rarecancerresearch

To all cancer survivors, we recognize you and celebrate your bravery, resiliency, and strength 💙🌟 Today, June 2nd, is National Cancer Survivors Day. While survivorship can be complicated, Gabe would remind us that every day is a gift and no birthday is guaranteed, so take a moment and celebrate that survivor in your life - especially if that person is you! #ncsd2024 #nationalcancersurvivorsday #celebratelife National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation, Inc.

Run for Research. Run on Hope. Run with us. 💙 👟 Whether you're a seasoned runner or someone looking to take on a new challenge, we want you to join us for the Medtronic TC 10 Mile. The reality is that there are huge disparities in rare cancer research, funding and treatments even though a quarter of all cancers are considered rare. Our mission is to change that reality! We are excited to offer guaranteed entry bibs (no lottery necessary 👏 ) for interested team members. Plus, inviting others makes it more FUN! 🎉 Rally your coworkers or family members to sign up with you. More information can be found on our website: https://lnkd.in/g4UMJzc7 Twin Cities In Motion #tc10mile
