Provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention and resources to advance research.
About us
The mission of the Heroes Foundation is to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention and resources to advance research for a cure. Our heroes in the cancer fight are just like you — individuals who have a desire to make change and never give in to cancer. Be a hero. The Heroes Foundation exists because of people who confronted cancer and fought the good fight. The spirit, determination, and commitment of these people to survive are the legacies and characteristics that spurred the Foundation. Conceived in October 2000, the Heroes Foundation started as an idea among friends. Vince Todd Jr., was fighting his own personal battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and wanted to assist others that suffered from similar diseases. Vince ultimately won his battle. His optimism coupled with the unconditional support of his family and friends created the spark that ignited the group. An idea that resulted in the Heroes Foundation was born. The organization officially took the name, Heroes Foundation, in May 2001. As a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, the mission of the Heroes Foundation is to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention and resources to advance research for a cure.

One of the first studies of its kind finds that Black patients with breast cancer treated with docetaxel experience fewer side effects like peripheral neuropathy, and could improve their quality of life and curative chemotherapy doses. This research is an important step toward better care for Black women with breast cancer.

“These are things that people can practically change how they live every single day to reduce their risk of cancer.” #TidbitTuesday #beatcancer #whyheroes #CancerPrevention
About 40% of new cancer cases among adults ages 30 and older in the United States — and nearly half of deaths — could be attributed to preventable risk factors, according to a new study from the American Cancer Society. Smoking was the leading risk factor by far, contributing to nearly 1 in 5 cancer cases and nearly a third of cancer deaths. Other key risk factors included excess body weight, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, diet and infections such as HPV. https://cnn.it/3Lp009K
