Why FLIP?
When it comes to cancer, we’re all in it together. And while we continue racing for a cure, unfortunately almost all of us will still have to watch a loved one fight the disease, and nearly half will face the ugly battle ourselves. With odds like that, prevention is just too important to ignore. That’s why we’re fighting every day to raise awareness, educate communities, inspire action and organize lifestyle changing events – like this! – that can help more of us avoid this painful disease all together. Most people don’t know that nearly 90% of cancer is preventable.
Prevention is powerful. But we need your help. Here’s your chance to make a big impact… the best thing you can do is to gather some friends and create a team! Train together. Share your stories to inspire others. Then make all that hard work count: go out to your neighbors, your co-workers, your family, your friends and ask for pledges to support you in the prevention race.
FLIP has already reached over 2,000 people in Columbus through pure work, sweat and volunteer time alone. But with your support, we’re building a team that is full-time dedicated to taking the cancer prevention message exponentially further. Your donations will help us:
1. Enhance our website to deliver valuable research and easy, actionable prevention tips
2. Offer fun and active events to engage the local community in the FLIP movement
3. Build prevention programs that will inspire action and help you measure results
4. Launch viral campaigns to get the word out and educate even more people on what they can do to get ahead of cancer
Small changes can save lives. Together, we’ll change more. FLIP: fight, live, inspire, prevent!
