Marnie was a bright, beautiful, vivacious second-year pediatric resident when she died in 2002 of a glioblastoma. She appeared on the nationally acclaimed ABC television series Houston Medical  to put a human face to brain cancer and to give strength to others who were ill.  During Marnie's illness, we were appalled by the limited funding for brain tumor research and the lack of awareness of its incidence, especially among young adults.  We started the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation after her death to address these issues and to remember the children Marnie so adored.
