Jessica Morris was the founder of Our Brain Bank, a nonprofit organization that provides support for those with glioblastoma.

Knowing her diagnosis was terminal – the odds of living more than 18 months past a glioblastoma diagnosis are very low – Morris sought out support and, when she didn’t find what she needed, she created it.

She founded Our Brain Bank, which offers a network for glioblastoma sufferers that includes that psychological support but also goes beyond it.

And through Our Brain Bank, she smoothed the way for glioblastoma patients to receive second opinions and to enroll in clinical trials.

Morris beat the odds and survived more than five years after her diagnosis, which only about five percent of glioblastoma patients do.
