Non-profits
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Organization International
Help fund cancer research! January 11th 2006, my close friend, Erin Melin, passed away from the rare form of cancer, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. She was one of the most amazing people I will ever know. She had an indomitable spirit, lived life to the fullest, and loved ice cream. In her memory friends and family continue to raise money and awareness to fund critical research for ACC.

Quick Facts about ACCOI:

ACCOI is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. ACCOI was formed to further research and awareness of this rare cancer.

ACCOI uses less than 2% of every dollar donated for administrative costs.

ACCOI does not receive funding from large cancer organizations, and relies on contributions from people like you.

Donations to ACCOI are tax-deductible in the United States.

ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that impacts nerve cells in both the brain and the spinal cord. As many as 30,000 Americans have the disease, and hundreds of thousands more are impacted as loved ones that help care for and deal with those with ALS. In 2007 my Aunt Judy Scott, passed away from the disease, and in her memory I hope to raise resources and awareness for ALS
