The burden of Cancer:
Cancer the 2nd leading cause of death in the world. 7 million -- that's how many people who should NOT die of cancer each year... 1,200,000 -- that's how many breast cancers that should NOT occur every year.

Please support us to find the causes and treatments to prevent cancer mortality.

We are a special initiative of the Campaign for Cancer Prevention (with 3 million members), now the world's largest online campaign against cancer.

All donated funds benefits the world's largest and longest-running cancer study at Harvard Medical School. Backed and supported by leading scientists at Harvard, we need your need in raising critical funds for cancer research.

Research:

Our research benefits the Nurses' Health Study. "[The Nurses' Health Study] is one of the most significant studies ever conducted."
-Donna Shalala, Former Secretary of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

The Nurses' Health Study (of Brigham and Women's Hospital, a flagship hospital of Harvard Medical School) is the world's LARGEST and LONGEST-running study into understanding cancer causes and preventions in women. The NHS has led the world in finding causes, preventions, and treatments for cancer for >30 years.

Our research was recently featured in TIME Magazine as one of the TOP 10 MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS of 2007:

However, due to limited federal funds, research dollars from public donations are becoming ever more critical to continue the vital research into cancers.

Please consider supporting the cause--all donations *DIRECTLY* benefit our breast cancer research! (Even a small tax-deductible donation can significantly help efforts to find a cure) Thank you for your support.
