Brave for Dave was created by Dave's wife Chloe, with the help of family and friends. Chloe and the couple's children Duke and Banks, aren't letting Dave's memory fade and want to put as much effort into raising awareness of brain cancer as their husband and father put into fighting the disease.

This Grey May, Brave for Dave hosted a series of fantastic sporting events raising $6620 for brain cancer research! A testament to the power of community, Chloe shared a special message thanking all those who donated, took part and supported the cause:

"We are overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of those who took the time to read about and donate to such a worthy cause. It was a huge month for us with fundraising and being a voice for all brain cancer/tumour patients and their families.

Our BRAVE FOR DAVE keeps growing and one day soon, we will be able to change the way we approach and talk about brain cancer. There is a lot to be said about the influence of a community….there is no limit to what we can accomplish together."
