Heartbreak ignited our mission. Courage fuels our fight. Hope leads us forward.
OUR STORY
From heartbreak to COURAGE to HOPE – GC Global stands united.
GC Global was not built from plans—it was built from pain. In March 2015, inside the walls of the Marie Curie Cancer Institute in Paris, families devastated by Gliomatosis Cerebri, along with passionate medical experts and researchers, came together for the first time. What began as a conference transformed into a movement—ignited by shared grief, unwavering hope, and an urgent need for answers.
That day sparked a promise that still burns strong: no one will face this disease alone. GC Global became a powerful voice—amplifying research, fueling fundraising, and building a haven of connection for families across the world. Our mission is not just about medicine—it’s about humanity. It’s about remembering the lives stolen too soon, supporting those still fighting, and refusing to let Gliomatosis Cerebri define the future. Every project, every partnership, every parent who dares to hope—adds a chapter to our shared story.
And our story is still unfolding, written by every brave heart that chooses love over fear, action over despair, and HOPE over heartbreak.
OUR MISSION
We raise awareness and fund vital research to fight Gliomatosis Cerebri. Through global collaboration, GC Global shines a light on this rare disease and accelerates progress toward effective treatments and a cure.
OUR OBJECTIVES
- Build a global platform to share resources and raise awareness for Gliomatosis Cerebri.
- Organize and fund the bi-yearly GC Conference to connect experts and accelerate research.
- Support studies to discover effective treatments and pursue a cure.
- Foster connection and support among families affected by GC.
Our Community
From Isolation to Connection
When many of us began this journey, we were met with silence — never having heard of Gliomatosis Cerebri, we searched desperately online for answers, for hope, and for others walking a similar path.
What we found was a void: no active research, no dedicated support network, and no shared stories to guide us forward.
That has changed.
Today, thanks to tireless families and family foundations, we stand together as one international community. Alongside this website, we invite you to explore:
- GC Connection — our private Facebook Group that links families worldwide
- GC Global – Gliomatosis Cerebri — our public Facebook Page, spreading awareness and updates
Together, we’ve built a far-reaching support system—an extended family that understands your pain and shares your hope. No one understands quite like someone who’s been there. That empathy is the heartbeat of our community.
We recognize that each journey is unique. Some connect through support groups. Others by sharing stories, tributes, or scientific insights. Whatever way feels right for you—we welcome it with open arms.
