1. Do you know a child who survived
leukemia? Do you have a mother, sister or aunt whose breast cancer was found
early thanks to a mammogram? Do you have a friend or coworker who quit smoking
to reduce their risk of lung cancer? Each of these individuals benefited from
the American Cancer Society's research program. 2. Each day
scientists supported by the American Cancer Society work to find breakthroughs
that will take U.S. one step closer to a cure. The American Cancer Society has
long recognized that research holds the ultimate answers to the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of cancer. 3. As the largest source of
nonprofit cancer research funds in the United States, the American Cancer
Society devotes over $100 million each year to research. Since 1946, they've
invested more than $2.4 billion in research. The investment has paid rich
dividends. In 1946, only one in four cancer patients was alive five years after
diagnosis; today 60 percent live longer than five years. 4.
Investigators and health professionals in universities, research
institutes and hospitals throughout the country receive grants from the American
Cancer Society. Of the more than 1,300 new applications received each year, only
11 percent can be funded. If the American Cancer Society had more money
available for research funding, could nearly 200 more applications considered
outstanding be funded each year? 5. You can help fund more of
these applications by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay for
Life, a team event to fight cancer. More funding means more cancer breakthroughs
and more lives being saved. To learn more, call Donna Hood, chair with the
Neosho Relay for Life of the American Cancer Society at 451-4880.
