ACF’s Research Focus
2004 - 2009
ACF places the highest priority on supporting research
that benefits both pets and people; and to educating the
public and the scientific community about the ways comparative
oncology is accelerating the treatment, prevention and ultimate
eradication of cancer. To these ends, the organization has
established its first integrated research program. Through
two unique partnerships, ACF is developing and supporting
research that from 2004 - 2009 will focus on:
·
Discovering new life-saving treatments for cancer
·
Defining practical interventions to prevent cancer
· Determing
how aging affects cancer incidence and aggressiveness
· Developing
reliable methods to assess an individual’s cancer
risk
  To
realize these initiatives, we look forward to the continued
support of those who, through their generosity, have enabled
us to reach this juncture, and to welcoming those who have
yet to join us on the next phase of our historic
journey.

2 Dogs, 2,000 Miles Feb, 2008
A
walk from Austin to Boston... A walk for all those
touched by cancer... and the start of a journey to
rid the world of this disease...
Our Mission: Discovering the Cause of Cancer not Finding
a Cure.
It all began when I lost Malcolm, my Great Pyrenees, to
metastatic bone cancer. He was my boy and his loss devasted
me. And it became the inspiration behind the 2,400
mile journey from Austin to Boston that I'll be taking with
my two other Pyrenees, Hudson and Murphy.
The funds raised from the walk will finance the first ever
nationwide epidemiological canine cancer study which will
be managed by our partner, the Animal Cancer Foundation...
