Destination Cure
100% of all money raised by Destination Cure is distributed to researchers whose invaluable work is focused on restoring full function to MS patients and a cure for MS.
Over one million Americans suffer from this terrible neurological disease, which strikes down men and women in the prime of their lives.
ASHA
The Ekal Marathon
Pancreatica Walks and Runs
Our group is dedicated to raising awareness and funds, increasing education and supporting pancreatic cancer research.
Pancreatic cancer is the least funded cancer in terms of research. Despite causing enormous mortality, pancreatic cancer receives (on a mortality basis) much less funding for research than most of the other major cancers.
As a participant in Pancreatica Walks and Runs you can help in the fight against pancreatic cancer - includes coaching, running apparel, prizes and more!
Please call 1-877-ToFightCancer (1-877-863-4448), e-mail us at Participate@ToFightCancer.com or visit www.ToFightCancer.com to get started today.
JW House
JW House is a place of welcome and support for families of hospitalized patients being treated in Santa Clara and surrounding areas.
Families faced with long hospital stays often end up living out of their loved one’s hospital room – sleeping in chairs, eating cafeteria food, and going without showers – just so they can be by the patient’s side.
JW House provides a home to families to be together when they need one another the most. Our staff and volunteers work with social workers at nearby hospitals to place families in the house. Our guests are able to enjoy a tranquil, home-like atmosphere while being steps away from their sick family member. We offer low cost overnight accommodations and free day use programs for families.
If you would like to join Team JW House at this year’s Dean Karnazes Silicon Valley Marathon and raise money to help us continue providing a home away from home for families in need, please contact us at info@jwhouse.org.
