Sherry K. Stone Foundation for a Cure

The Sherry K. Stone Foundation for a Cure was founded two days after Sherry passed away from lung cancer. The purpose of the foundation is to raise money for the funding of assorted research and programs related to women's cancer issues. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have visited this website and encouraged others to do so. The more we spread the word of what this foundation is trying to do, the more people will want to become involved in our efforts. There is not a person you or I know who has not had their lives affected by cancer in some manner. Research is making remarkable strides in preventing and fighting this killer disease, but we've still a long way to go. Sherry fought this with every fibre of her being and though she died from cancer, it doesn't mean that the cancer won. Quite the contrary. Her foundation was born out of her fight and determination. No one needs to tell you how hard times are right now financially. We all feel it. Over these past months, I have been touched by the many small contributions of only a dollar or two from those who can not afford to contribute to any cause but were compelled to do so because of a relative or someone that they knew who had been diagnosed with cancer. Contributions from children because they felt a desire to join this fight so that perhaps one day, their children's only knowledge about cancer might come from a history book. I continue to learn a great deal about humanity since we began this foundation. About people from all walks of life, of various backgrounds and resources and our one common desire to win this fight. Together, there is strength in numbers! If you have contributed to our foundation, our most heartfelt thanks to you. If you have been contemplating contributing, we encourage you to please do so and join us in this cause. "There is no amount too small for a cause so great." Thank you again and may God bless each of you.

Sincerely,

Steven Stone
