Wear a Hat Day

Today is Wear a Hat Day, meant as a way to raise awareness and funds for brain-tumor research. 

Did you know there are over 100 different types of brain tumors?  

And most brain tumors "actually came from somewhere else in the body and [travelled through] the bloodstream to the brain" (LeBeau, Wear a Hat Day supports brain tumor research, funding).   

Fifty thousands Canadians are affected every year by brain tumors with 27 new cases each day.  (Source:  Brain Tumor Registry of Canada).  

What can you do?  

Know your risks.  

Learn about preventative measures.  

Speak to your health care professional if you have any concerns.  

And don't keep it under your hat!  

Stay Safe and Keep Sewing!
