In my personal situation, the power of hope is what kept me afloat throughout my HNC journey, and for Heidi, our current patient of the year, it's the power of religious faith....

The HNC Fund is EXPANDING! Our NEW VISION is to help more HNC patients each year, as well as to support specific HNC Research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center!!! We are raising money right NOW to support two innovative research programs being conducted by world renowned Head Neck Cancer surgeon Dr. Ian Ganly at MSKCC.

Program 1: For Young Oral Cancer Patients: This research program is designed to specifically identify why very young, non-risk patients are increasingly being diagnosed with HNC and then to stop it from occurring.

Program 2: For Young, HPV Orophanrynx Patients: (The part of the throat at the back of the mouth behind the oral cavity, including: the rear third of the tongue; soft palate; side and back walls of the throat, and the tonsils). This research program entails examining the microbiome of young, HPV Orophanrynx patients in hope of achieving a positive influence on their health outcome.

Expanding HNC Fund’s mission to support Dr. Ganly’s studies this Summer will hopefully help thousands of young people in a profound manner in the future. Please consider donating to an important and impactful cause at the hncfund.org website. Thank you!
