Prevent Cancer Foundation
Prevent Cancer Foundation is a national, non-profit health foundation with a single mission: the prevention and early detection of cancer through scientific research and education.
The Foundation focuses its energies and resources on those cancers—including lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, cervical, skin and testicular—that can be prevented through lifestyle changes or detection and treatment in their early stages.
Today, however, prevention research is recognized as essential to the fight against cancer. Now that scientists better understand how tumors develop, they are learning ways that people can reduce their cancer risks. In addition, the Foundation's public education programs have made real-life use of this scientific knowledge by teaching people ways they can reduce their cancer risks. By explaining the benefits of healthy eating, regular exercise and adherence to screening recommendations, the Foundation has shown thousands of men, women and children ways they can protect themselves against cancer.

The Smile Train
Unlike many charities that do many different things, The Smile Train is focused on solving a single problem: cleft lip and palate.
Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Aren’t allowed to attend school or hold a job. And face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache.
The good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that costs as little as $250 and takes as little as 45 minutes.
This is our mission:
-To provide free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries.
-To provide free cleft-related training for doctors and medical professionals.
Until there are no more children who need help and we have completely
eradicated the problem of clefts. Vist them at www.thesmiletrain.org for more info.
