Cannonball Kids Cancer Foundation

The mission of Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation (CKc) is to fund innovative, accessible research for children fighting cancer to provide better treatments and quality of life, and to educate for change. Our vision is to find cures for all childhood cancers. Pediatric cancer is the number one killer by disease of children. For kids fighting cancer, only four new treatments have been approved by the FDA in the past 40 years. Forty years! This is unacceptable. Funding new, innovative research is the only solution. The life-saving trials our children need are largely funded by individuals who donate to organizations like CKc. Our foundation is committed to seeking and funding novel research that will truly move the needle in pediatric cancer treatment options. You CAN make a difference with CKc. Thank you!

Breast Cancer Action Quebec

Breast Cancer Action Montreal (BCAM) is a non-profit activist/advocacy group directed by women who have been sensitized to the trauma of breast cancer (affecting themselves or someone close to them) and who are committed — long-term — to erasing the disease. The focus of breast cancer research must move beyond its current emphasis on treatment to also embrace a serious search for the causes of the disease and its prevention. BCAM promotes and supports the adoption of the Precautionary Principle as a guideline for action. The Precautionary Principle is a safety-first premise that states that, when there are reasonable scientific grounds for believing a process or product may not be safe, even when cause-and-effect relationships are not fully understood, preventive action must be taken.
