The Adam Fanaki Brain Fund supports patients who are living with a brain tumour and their caregivers. The fund is in memory of Adam Fanaki, a highly respected lawyer in Toronto and all-around great guy, who lost his battle to glioblastoma in February 2020.
The Group's Purpose
The Adam Fanaki Brain Fund supports programs and services for patients living with a brain tumour and their caregivers.
This fundraising campaign was established by Adam's wife Janet and their children Isobel and Sam. Knowing the stress that comes from caring for a patient living with a brain tumour, the family aimed to provide patients and their families with some relief.
In 2020 we gave a large donation to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada to continue to provide virtual care programs as well as to distribute Patient and Caregiver Handbooks. Our fundraising has also enabled the Brain Tumour Foundation to also develop a new app.
St. Michael's Hospital's Neurosurgery department received funds from The Adam Fanaki Brain Fund towards compassion and palliative programs for brain tumour patients.
Sunnybrook Hospital has gone on to fund soft services such as paying for transportation and parking fees, medicines and other supportive needs.
As Sick Kids we donated to a sibling support program.
We thank everyone for their donations. Special thanks goes to our lead donor Davies, Ward, Phillips & Vineberg LLP along with our major donors BMO Private Wealth, Brian Facey and Julie Soloway, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, TORYS LLP and Nick and Nicki Perpick, and Robert M. Ben of Thomson Rogers Lawyers.

About the Organizers
Janet and Adam Fanaki were together for 24 fun and adventurous years. They were true partners in every sense, including how they approached Adam's cancer diagnosis, surgery and treatments.
Our entire family misses Adam very much. When Adam was diagnosed Isobel was 16 and Sam 14 years old. Since his passing in February 2020, we have been fully committed to carry on his legacy and help others who are struggling through their own brain tumour story.
