Researchers are making serious headway in the fight against cancer (science rocks) and awesome organizations like the Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Research Foundation and Head for the Cure are the fuel. Their work to beat cancer inspires me to jump in the fight.
The first goal is to raise money to support cancer research at Mayo Clinic. The more funding scientists get, the faster they can discover new ways to treat it, like new medicines and treatments. This funding also helps them test these new things out safely to make sure they work well. With enough resources they can attract top scientific minds. We also have to spend it wisely. For example, directing it towards research that’s already showing promise. That’s why I’ve chosen to donate directly to Mayo Clinic, a leader in cancer research. Their dedication aligns perfectly with my desire to see advancements translated into life saving treatments. Focused and efficient allocation is crucial. Directing resources towards the most promising research areas maximizes impact. The dream is to raise millions for Mayo Clinic cancer research, and I’m thinking of epic events like a bike ride. But, I know every journey starts with a small step. That’s why my first fundraising goal is $10,000. Gotta start somewhere.
I’ve launched two shops right now in my fundraising efforts. And I’m cooking up ways to raise money in the future.
Clutter for a Cause is a shop that gives new life to unwanted items. My family has a long history of getting creative with “junk.” We fondly remember my grandpa Jim, who always seemed to have the perfect repurposed treasure for any situation. We even have a family saying, “Jim-aded it!” when we find a clever solution with unexpected materials.
My family is filled with artistic talent, and their creations always inspire me. That’s why I am launching “Crafty Cause,” a shop where we sell unique pieces made by my amazing family. But we welcome anyone who shares our love of creating beautiful things to join our cause. All proceeds go directly to Mayo Clinic.
These shops and more information is on my tabs. By participating, you’ll be directly contributing to better education and prevention initiatives, empowering everyone to get involved in the battle.
To watch our goal come to life I’ve created a page where you can see the impact of our fundraising efforts.

But funding ain’t our only weapon. This fight requires a multi pronged approach.
I’m incredibly passionate about creating a safe space for people affected by cancer to connect, share experiences, and advocate for change. Just like Sunshine for Kids provides a supportive community, I envision a global network.
A book club where we discuss inspiring stories and share personal journeys. Maybe a pen-pal program that connects people going through similar experiences, offering encouragement and friendships. Video calls and even in-person meetups could foster community as well.
This provides a critical support system and a good dose of hope as others triumph over cancer. Additionally it empowers people to take charge of their health. But also in the midst of it all, by sharing experiences we can point out areas where things can be improved, making a difference for everyone facing cancer. So yeah, it’s also a powerful tool that can seriously change the game in the fight against cancer.
This research is incredibly important to me. Every little bit counts. Cancer won’t stand a chance against a world that’s informed, engaged, and hopeful.
Let’s do this
