When it comes to any kind of cause, glioblastoma research included, sometimes interest is generated in a multitude of ways. Some organizations may hold events which call for physical activity while others will simply request donations from people. However, in order to maximize the assistance from people for this noble cause, I believe that other forms of media can be utilized. Gaming has a certain niche that it appeals to and I believe that the crowd would be eager to help on the matter.

Research on this type of matter seems to be done at a constant pace with small findings found seemingly each day. For example, it was told on the Courier-Mail website that EphA3, a type of protein, was linked to these tumors which have proven to be cancerous. Now that the protein type is known, treatments with this antibiotic are being tested. Yes, it seems like research accounts for many small steps but I believe they will lead up to a giant leap.

These steps seem to lead to great deals of research but money has to be raised to make it occur. Voices Against Brain Cancer is one company that has done fine work and funds have to be raised in order to assist in the goal coming about. Glioblastoma research has seen a good amount of attention thanks to events, many of which VABC headed like the Join the Voices Run/Walk. Physical activities are, in my opinion, some of the finest in order to bring people together for a cause but there are forms of media that have different fans.

The partnership of awareness organizations and giant companies isn't a new concept. World Wrestling Entertainment recently partnered with Susan G. Komen in order to help breast cancer awareness. It's one of those acts which makes me believe that similar ones can be done, such as an organization working alongside a gaming company like Nintendo. This is a big name that anyone who plays games knows about, which means that people are going to be exposed to the message shown and perhaps be inclined to help.

Glioblastoma research is something that I strongly support and I can only hope that others feel the same about it, too. People can have such an impact on any kind of research for detrimental causes and it's usually going to come about thanks to their financial actions. Not many people are aware of the great turnouts that these events can have, both in people who attend and the level of funds raised. I believe that gaming can be, more or less, the same where money can be seen thanks to those who want to play.
