| FORE Cancer Research was formed as a grass roots vehicle to help raise funds and awareness for cancer research. Our goal is to raise $1 million dollars through the help of the Buckeyes FORE Cancer Research Charity Pro-Am Golf Event, the Give 18 FORE Cancer Research campaign, and individual donations. Together we CAN make a difference and help put an end, once and for all, to this terrible disease. |

| Cancer researchers have a clear understanding of how cancer evolves, from the initial disruption of genetic material, and the signals that drive and nourish this growth and cause it to spread. We are at a crossroads in the history of cancer research and we are poised to make exponential gains, to even reduce it to a chronic disease, like diabetes. Early indicators include: |
|
- For the first time in more than 70 years, annual cancer deaths in the United States have fallen. The number of cancer deaths in the U.S. fell between 2002 and 2003, the first annual decrease in total cancer deaths since the 1930s, when nationwide data began to be compiled.
- As of January 2002, it is estimated that there are 10.1 million cancer survivors in the U.S. Approximately 14 percent of the 10.1 million estimated survivors were diagnosed more than 20 years ago.
- People can reduce their risk of getting cancer through diet, exercise, weight loss and the practice of other healthy lifestyle factors.
- Today, 64 percent of adults diagnosed with cancer will be alive in five years. Among children, nearly 75 percent of childhood cancer survivors will be alive after 10 years.
