The ASCEND Foundation is extremely proud of its role in both launching Gabe’s Chemo Duck Program here at MUSC and expanding the program to almost 50 Child Oncology facilities across the country. Gabe’s Chemo Duck Program has now touched thousands of children and family members affected by cancer. Recently all administrative and fulfillment services were moved to Nashville with the hope that this program will continue to grow and touch thousands more. Please know your support for ASCEND and the Chemo Duck Program has truly helped children “Imagine a World Without Cancer”. We will continue to look for your support as the ASCEND Foundation continues to develop new programs and works to make ending cancer a national priority for both adults and children.

If you are sitting in a room with 2 other people, the odds are that one of you will get cancer.

Since Richard Nixon declared war on cancer in 1971, the focus of the fight has been on developing treatments, while too little attention has been paid to the fact that most cancer is preventable in the first place.
