Heroes
Mission

To provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention and resources to advance research for a cure.

Support

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, their world is turned upside down. Being able to find and take advantage of support services fast is absolutely critical. Where families are overburdened, the Heroes Foundation shows up to relieve some of the stress put on those affected by cancer.

Prevention

Between a third and a half of cancers could be prevented on the basis of the medical community’s current knowledge of risk factors. Plus, prevention is cost-effective, its effects aren’t limited to high-risk subjects but extend to the entire population, and it is not dependent on socioeconomic status. Cancer prevention initiatives can reduce both the incidence of cancer and mortality.

Research

The overall cancer death rate continues to decline year after year. Researchers across the world are uncovering better ways to prevent, diagnose, treat and survive cancer. But we are far from done. Tireless and brilliant scholars are chasing cancer breakthroughs right here in Indiana. With internationally recognized research institutions in our own backyard, the Heroes Foundation focuses its research funding to projects in Indiana.
