As part of the promotion, copies of John Grisham’s book The Tumor were available at all club locations. This short book tells the story of a young father with a lethal brain tumor. His future looks bleak with current medical options, but in an alternate ending, we see ten years into the future when focused ultrasound may be used to successfully treat the tumor. Mr. Grisham has been a member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors since 2008 and wrote The Tumor to help raise awareness of focused ultrasound.
About the Focused Ultrasound Foundation
The Focused Ultrasound Foundation was created to improve the lives of millions of people worldwide by accelerating the development of focused ultrasound, an early-stage noninvasive therapeutic technology with the potential to transform the treatment of many medical disorders. The Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that focused ultrasound finds its place as a mainstream therapy within years, not decades, and works to fund research, foster collaboration, and build awareness among patients and professionals. Since its establishment in 2006, it has become the largest non-governmental source of funding for focused ultrasound research. More information can be found at www.fusfoundation.org.
