Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $2.2 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® and the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

In December of 2008, Cassandra Brown, was diagnosed with this terrible disease. Although she had minor health issues, she was otherwise healthy and had no cancer-related symptoms. For more than a year, she gracefully battled on, showing her strength and being a role model to us all. Unlike many diagnosed with this disease, she was blessed with several months of happy times, leaving an everlasting footprint in the lives of those around her. In March of 2010, Cassandra’s fight was over. As a legacy to her, the Cassandra’s Cure for Cancer Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was created to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure. Over the last 8 years, our foundation has raised over $70,000 through charitable events from which all proceeds were donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (www.pancan.org), the largest advocacy and medical research organization focused on finding a cure for this terrible disease.

Founded by Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green, the Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation is on a mission to change the way cancer is treated and reduce cancer-patient suffering by providing a treatment that is accessible, affordable, and, most importantly, effective. Despite all of modern and alternative medicine’s best approaches, nearly 9 million cancer-related deaths occur every year due to cost, access, and efficacy of current treatment options. Dr. Green has developed a new arsenal in the war on cancer, Laser-Activated Nano-Therapy (LANT). After a single 10-minute treatment, LANT completely eliminates tumors in laboratory mice in just 15 days, without any observable side effects. Limited by funding, not technological advancements, LANT is ready for human trials. The purpose of the Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation is to move LANT beyond the laboratory and into humans, independent of the pharmaceutical industry with tax-deductible donations. We have the capacity to save lives. With our revolutionary technology, we can. With your help, we will. Together, #WeAreOraLee. Together, with your generous support, we can change the way cancer is treated.
