The Cooking Up a Cure For Brain Tumors cookbooks were created and put together with great love from two people who want the same thing: A cure for brain tumors. Lisa Gibson, the creator of the cookbook idea, was 32 when she passed away from a glioblastoma multiforme brain tumor.
Prior to her death, she came up with the idea and felt that it would be a great way for those affected to contribute while helping to raise funds for a cure. She felt this cookbook was her calling, "what God wanted her to do for others" to give back, as so much was given to her. For Lisa Millar, it is a mission.
She lost her younger brother, Brad, to a brain tumor. He was only 29. Brad was far too young to die. He was a loving father with two small children. Lisa is carrying on her brother's desperate desire for a cure, in loving memory of Brad and Lisa Gibson, and for everyone suffering from a brain tumor. Lisa Gibson and Lisa Millar put together the first and second cookbooks.
Sadly, Lisa Gibson passed away just before the volume 2 cookbook was in print. Since her untimely passing, Lisa Millar's aunt, Sharon Paul, has donated her time and energy to working on these cookbooks each year. Lisa Gibson, Lisa Millar and Sharon Paul send thanks to the brain tumor community (family, friends, doctors, nurses, researchers) who graciously shared their special recipes and very special dedications to make all the recipes and books possible.
One hundred percent of the proceeds for this cookbook go to brain tumor research. To date, over $38,000 has been raised from sales of Cooking Up a Cure cookbooks!
