About JPH
Drew Houts, and his wife Julie, faced an unexpected, unwanted, and unguided future following Julie’s diagnosis with a Glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumor in 2020. Their journey exposed them to the uncertain treatment path for GBM patients and was equally unchartered across the medical, emotional, and relational landscapes.
After Julie’s passing in 2021, Drew steadied himself with the desire to carry Julie’s legacy forward. His goal: To provide a stabilizing Path To Hope for other patients, caregivers, and loved ones traveling along the same journey.
Built as an accessible and dedicated resource on the Brains for the Cure, Join Your Path to Hope (JPH) streamlines the brain tumor journey. Offering immediate, personalized resources for medical, emotional, and relational needs. Our goal is to empower patients and caregivers with hope and support across all aspects of the journey. Powered by the Head for the Cure Foundation.
