In the Philippines, every 3 hours, ONE filipino child die of CANCER...
What kills them is not the disease itself but the lack of funds for seeking
and completing medical treatment and care.

In resource rich countries, three out of four kids now survive cancer and become healthy adults... in the Philippines, 80% die.

GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE... HELP KIDS FIGHT CANCER!

About Us

 

The Cancer Warriors Foundation is the embodiment of a dream ---- that no Filipino child will suffer a diminished quality of life because of cancer.

The Cancer Warriors Foundation is founded on the conviction that cancer can be beaten, if detected early, given proper management and care, and armed with the unwavering faith, that “God will make a way”. This was the song that sustained and inspired James during his long and difficult battle with a rare form of brain cancer.

The Cancer Warriors Foundation is the fulfillment of a promise ---- a promise made by a 19 year old boy (James), as he himself was battling brain cancer.  A promise that every Filipino child, stricken with cancer, especially the poor and disadvantaged, will have an equal chance to conquer cancer and to avail of cancer treatments.

Upon his recovery, James vowed to dedicate the rest of his life to fighting cancer, in whatever way he could.  Together with a group of passionate and committed young volunteers, he found a way to make good on his promise.  In May, 2000, Cancer Warriors Foundation was organized.

The Foundation's Trustees is composed of dedicated men and women whose families' lives have been touched by cancer and who have committed to help in the FIGHT against cancer.  They are all respected leaders in the various fields and disciplines where they are connected.  Each one of them has made a mark and significant contributions, towards, making a difference in the lives of the poor, marginalized and disadvantaged.

A Board of Advisers composed of representatives from key sectors of the community has also been formed.

The Cancer Warriors Foundation is a living tribute to the passion caring and courageous spirit of young people.  It is essentially a volunteer network of young people who have committed and are freely sharing their time, skills and resources to advance the fight against childhood cancers and to assist in the treatment and care of poor and disadvantaged kids stricken with cancer.
