预防癌症基金会历史
庆祝我们走过的路,致力于我们未来的目标。
1985 年,卡罗琳·“博”·阿尔迪格怀念已故父亲爱德华·佩里·理查森,于是她开始着手一项使命。她创立了 501(c)3 非营利组织预防癌症基金会®,希望帮助其他人免受癌症带来的痛苦和折磨。
“每个人都专注于‘灵丹妙药’,每个人都专注于寻找能够治愈癌症的方法。人们认为这就是解决方案——治愈方法。预防并不是主流,”阿尔迪格说。
近年来,癌症形势发生了巨大变化,越来越多的人呼吁预防和早期发现癌症。预防癌症基金会自 1985 年以来一直在宣传这一信息,并一直处于癌症预防和早期发现的前沿。
基金会致力于通过预防和早期发现帮助人们预防癌症。加入我们: 注册并保持联系 我们将一起谱写下一个篇章。
