The Josh Powell Foundation was founded in honor of 1LT William Joshua Powell by his loving wife, Fabi. At 25 years old, Josh was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Synovial Sarcoma in his lower abdomen/pelvis. This cancer took his life two years and 25 days later, just one month after marrying the love of his life. Fabi has made it her mission to create a legacy in honor of her late husband. This legacy was built around the Keep Going/Never Die Easy wristbands Josh designed while battling cancer as well as the Keep Going statement he wrote explaining the meaning behind them. Josh’s wristbands and statement are sent out weekly to sarcoma patients, loved ones, caretakers, and surviving family members needing, hope, strength, and encouragement to Keep Going. When you encourage people battling adversity to Keep Going and fight their fight despite the odds stacked against them, you create a ripple effect. This ripple effect allows these individuals to encourage even more people, and the mission lives on.

By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, which includes combining computational biology and functional genomics with cutting-edge robotic technologies, Cure First is fast-tracking the identification of new drug targets and possible cures.

Canary Foundation is the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated solely to the funding, discovery and development of tests for early cancer detection. Identifying early stage cancers will save lives; while less than 15% of research funding goes to early detection, early intervention is far more effective than late stage treatment. The greatest advances in cancer research can be obtained — and more lives saved — by reorienting research toward earlier detection and prevention.
