The research the V Foundation funds is critical. By making a donation you will be supporting carefully vetted, cutting-edge research at prominent cancer centers nationwide.  Our goal is to raise funds for the V Foundation and raise cancer awareness. Our fundraiser was started in loving memory of Rick Luke who was a devoted father and husband. Rick was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2014 and passed away from cancer complications in 2015. He had the "Never Give Up" spirit enbodied by Jimmy Valvano and the V Foundation. Will you join us in the fight against cancer by donating today?
