The Anal Cancer Foundation. Aiming to destigmatize the disease, improve prevention protocols and fund therapeutic research. Our mission is to educate the public about anal cancer and to provide support for patients. The HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation is dedicated to empowering anal cancer patients and accelerating prevention and research methods that eliminate anal cancer and the virus that causes the majority of cases, the carcinogen HPV. HPV is a skin virus that causes 5% of cancers worldwide. We are committed to ending HPV-related cancers by investing in both scientific and support resources for patients, caregivers and researchers. We established the Foundation for our mother Paulette who passed away in 2010. Her strength, love and memory continue to be the driving force behind all that we do.
