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.

Greetings from Michael, Toni, Michaela and Grandma Hope!
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!
Its that time again. We are writing you today to ask for your support. We will be walking in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Lawrence, Kansas on June 13th & 14th, 2008. We will be walking with our team for 12 hours thru the night. Michaeland I have made this a family tradition for 9 years. This will be Grandma Hope's 5th year and Michaela's 2nd year.
We will be walking in honor of Hope Wood (Mother/Survivor), and in memory of Dawna Martin (Mother), Irene Mraz (Grandmother), and William Mraz (Grandfather), as well as in memory and honor of many other family members and friends.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
If you have any questions, please call me at (785) 393-3113, or email me at Toni@ToniMartin.biz..
Best,
Toni
