Dear family and friends,
Please consider a donation to LessCancer.org and I'll match your dollars with miles. I will be riding in memory of my younger brother Chris, my Mom, Dad, and my friend Annie who's brother Bill founded this organization. I'm not a biker and it's pretty hilly here, so my goal is modest, but I pledge to get the miles in before the snow falls! (A risky promise around here.) Thank you so much for your consideration.
The Next Generation Choices Foundation, also known as Less Cancer, is an American nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) founded by Bill Couzens in 2004 to educate the public about cancer prevention through digital media and community-supported programming, general education and continuing medical education for health care providers including physcians, nurses and public health professionals. Less Cancer has pioineered cancer prevention education as an integral part of the cancer landscape providing public health tools for risk reduction and prevention as vital parts of cancer cures. They are founders of National Cancer Prevention Day, the National Cancer Prevention Workshop offering continuing education credit and initated the United States Congressional Bipartisan Cancer Prevention Caucus.

Thank you for your help in supporting the work of Less Cancer!
WHAT WILL YOUR MILES SUPPORT?
Less Cancer develops educational tools to advance and secure public health addressing increased incidences of cancer. Next Generation Choices Foundation (NGCF or Less Cancer), lesscancer.org, promotes a prevention paradigm for addressing this alarming trend and raises awareness of cancer prevention to make risk reduction and prevention a vital part of the cancer paradigm. This is a departure from previous treatment-focused approaches that talked about beating, conquering, or curing cancer. Many cancers are preventable by reducing risk factors, such as lead corrosion in water supply and infrastructure, use of tobacco products, ultraviolet light exposure, asbestos exposure, specific contaminants, and pollution sources, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices, such as diet, exercise, and nutrition.
Please contact me if I can help you or have any questions by reaching out to [email protected] or call my cell at 540-270-4587.
Thanks,
Bill
