Description: The Cancer Research Foundation is a tax-exempt, public charity created exclusively to raise funds to further and support cancer research.
Mission: Currently, more than 200 different types of cancer affect more than 1.3 million people a year. It seems obvious that more money should be dedicated to research and to finding a cure; but, unfortunately, this is not happening! Stretched thin between economic struggles and natural disasters, the federal government has been forced to dramatically curtail its current medical research funding (with cancer research taking the largest cut among all areas of the National Institutes of Health); in addition, the philanthropy community, although extremely generous, often overlooks the colder face of research in favor of easing the heart wrenching pain of a victim. The Cancer Research Foundation was established for the sole purpose of drawing attention to the need for cancer research and for raising funds for top research facilities across the nation.

| Our personal message: |
Thank you to everyone who donated and/or participated in the First Annual Jim Bohn Bike and Hike in Hessel, Michigan! The event took place on July 8th at the Islander Bar and was a huge success. Despite torrential down pours and hail, participants hit the ten mile course on foot and bicycle at 1:00pm and had a great time.
Our goal for the first year was to raise $2,000.00 in memory of Jim Bohn, who passed away last September. We were delighted with the support from the town raising $5,850.00 by the end of the day.
The Second Annual Jim Bohn Bike and Hike will take place next year on Sunday July 6th, 2008. Please feel free to make donations year round for this event directly to the Cancer Research Foundation.
Checks payable to Cancer Research Foundation
