Stephen Walker

Stephen Walker is Campaign Manager for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s (PBTF) athletics-based fundraising program, Vs. Cancer. In this role he partners with sports organizations and teams at all levels nationwide to raise vital funds and awareness for pediatric brain tumor research and family support. These efforts include sponsored games, athlete hospital visits, and memorable, team-focused experiences for patient families.

After witnessing his wife’s courageous struggle with brain cancer, Stephen felt compelled to change careers and dedicate his life to giving back. This deeply personal connection fuels his passion for PBTF’s mission, underscoring the urgent need for more of everything—more research, more funding, more treatments, and more caregiver support. Before joining PBTF, Stephen channeled this dedication into raising over $763,000 for brain cancer research through a fund established at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in his wife’s honor.

Stephen draws daily inspiration from the families he meets through PBTF and the connections he forms with those who share experiences similar to his. He is passionate about raising awareness of the critical work done by PBTF and finds joy in inspiring others to take meaningful action.

A resident of Marblehead, Massachusetts—a coastal town rich in Revolutionary War history and the birthplace of the U.S. Navy—Stephen enjoys outdoor adventures, especially snowboarding. He is a proud father of two volleyball-playing daughters, who are his greatest source of joy and inspiration.
