Canary Foundation is the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated solely to the funding, discovery and development of tests for early cancer detection.

CancerFIT is a non-profit that provides complimentary evidence-based exercise classes to cancer patients and survivors. It is well established that radiation therapy and certain chemotherapy agents can cause a decrease in cardiovascular function. Large studies have demonstrated that this decrease can be reduced or even eliminated if patients exercise during the weeks or months they are receiving chemotherapy. Presently, researchers are conducting studies to determine whether exercise can prevent cancer recurrence and/or improve survival outcomes. CancerFIT's mission is to provide these benefits to patients at no cost.
