Gabriele Grunewald, a professional runner and rare cancer advocate, founded the Brave Like Gabe Foundation to inspire people to share stories of being brave through their own struggles while also helping to find better and more effective treatments for rare cancer.
"Brave Like Gabe” started as a hashtag to support professional runner Gabriele “Gabe” Grunewald as she sought treatment for her third battle with an incurable rare salivary gland cancer in 2017.
We’re kicking off our Season of Hope with our final Brave Conversation of 2026 where we will be sharing updates on the work the Foundation is doing, stories from the community, and a special announcement about the future.
Get an early start on your holiday shopping! The gift that keeps on giving, all merchandise proceeds support rare cancer research and movement programs for cancer survivors.
Hope for a better tomorrow.
Hope to cancer patients and families.
Hope for better treatments and cures for rare cancers.

What does being #BraveLikeLiz mean to you?
“Being #BraveLikeLiz means choosing action. I am so privileged to celebrate 11 years post-diagnosis, and I choose to stay involved by fundraising and spreading awareness in the hopes that more people can have the same privilege.”
