Learn about how a trip to the UW Health Spine Clinic for what Jason Guttenberg believed to be a back problem led to Jason's brain tumor diagnosis and successful surgery.
When Jason was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he and his buddies decided to change the focus of their annual golf outing. Hackfest, as the outing is now known, honors Jason by raising funds for brain tumor research. Two Hackfests are already in the books and they are looking at a third in 2012. Listen to Hackfest organizers and beneficiaries talk about their work.
