Our Mission To Cure Cancer And Help Those Battling The Disease:
Scott, a trial lawyer and commercial litigator was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in his mid-30s. His wife, Charlene, quickly turned their fears into determination and resolve. She lost many friends and family members to cancer over the years. But when her husband was diagnosed was cancer, Charlene said, "no to cancer. I am not going to let cancer take my husband! We will fight back every day in every way!" Charlene and Scott embarked upon their mission of curing cancer and helping people impacted by the disease over a decade ago. Their determination has only grown over the years as they have met countless wonderful people who are battling cancer in all of its horrible manifestations.
Cancer Is A Terrorist That Lives Within Us:
Cancer is an indiscriminate and out of control killer, a terrorist that lives within all of us. Our book contains statistics about cancer, rate of incidence, survival rates as well as strategy to conquere the disease as an individual and for society to cure cancer in all of its horrific forms.
A National Call To Action To Fight Back:
Cancer patients, survivors, and their families must not only respond and fight back, we must take the lead in raising awareness, helping people with cancer, and pushing for better treatments and a cures. We are committed to curing cancer during our life time. We believe that a five-prong attack is required:
Organization and leadership
Public Awareness and Education
Patient Advocacy
Public Policy Advocacy
A nation-wide government funded effort employing some of the same tools as Operation Worp Speed.
Private Fundraising and Philanthropy Supporting Cancer Research
The last point is the most important effort needed to eradicate cancer. Private philanthrophy drives cancer research and leads to impactful, out-of-the-box, think big research. We must raise money to find more efficatious, less toxic treatments and cures and we must invest that money wisely in cogent research.
We hope that you will join our national call to action and join our efforts or embark upon your own. If you would like more information, please click on our "Contact Us" page.

Education, public awareness, and publicity are so important in the battle against cancer. Apart from getting people information that they need to get diagnosed promptly and to obtain the proper treatments, it helps promote fundraising events and enlist volunteers and supporters. Accordingly, Charlene and Scott have made numerous television and radio appearances educating people about cancer and promoting organizations and events.
