The Richard Motyka Brain Tumour Research Fellowship was named in Richard’s honour by his sister Alison, and made possible through the generosity of Alison and Darrell Jones. Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to reaching every Canadian affected by a brain tumour through support, education, information, and research.
This Fellowship is being offered to help us with our vision to find the cause of and cure for brain tumours while improving the quality of life for those we serve and in recognition of the critical need for increased focus on brain tumour research.
