Brain Week 2018 – that’s a wrap!


During May 7-11 more than 20,000 people at schools and workplaces across Victoria, and interstate, took part in Brain Week.

Brain Week, which takes place during Brain Cancer Awareness Month, encourages participants to host their own events to raise awareness, encourage healthy and fun brain-engaging activities, and raise much-needed funds for a fantastic cause.

We absolutely loved seeing the creative ways you celebrated Brain Week, here are just some of the many highlights –
