Mission
# Farrah Fawcett Foundation
We Honor Farrah's Own Fight with Cancer by Passionately Giving to:
- Cutting edge HPV-related cancer research in memory of Farrah’s life and fight to the end.
- Patient assistance funds for those faced with mounting expenses during treatment.
- Prevention programs to help spread the word so the cancer struggle will cease.
After being diagnosed with cancer in 2006, Farrah Fawcett started the Farrah Fawcett Foundation in 2007. She was committed to finding a cure for her cancer and to personally oversee her foundation.
Unfortunately, events took a different turn and after seeking various treatments including alternative choices, she passed away on June 25, 2009.
Farrah wanted to help further cutting edge research and was particularly interested in alternative practices. She often wondered why there was not more research done with this type of cancer and hoped to be able to contribute to this less known area of the disease.
Farrah cared deeply about those less fortunate than she; those struggling with financial hardships as a result of their diagnosis
"When we were in Germany and Farrah was getting treatment there she said to her physician, Dr. Ursula Jacob, that she was almost glad she got cancer because now she could make a difference. It is my personal goal to carry out Farrah’s wishes to the best of my ability."
