CARE For A Cure

CARE For A Cure We are a nonprofit 501 C 3 Corp. working to find a cure for Alzheimer's and Breast Cancer while bringing awareness to adults and children of all ages. C.A.R.E.

for a Cure was founded in 2008 by Dave McGarry in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. CARE is a registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization. CARE was established as a dual-purpose organization, focusing both on breast Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease awareness and prevention. McGarry felt compelled to launch the organization after his life was indelibly changed forever following his mother’s diagnosis with Alz

heimer’s disease and several friends passing from Breast Cancer. His conviction to make a difference led to the formation of CARE. Since its inception seven years ago, CARE has donated millions of dollars to medical research initiatives, advocacy, and family care. CARE is also developing cutting -edge mobile apps to assist care-givers, family members, and those suffering with Alzheimer's disease with valuable resources. CARE's mission for 2016 and beyond is to expand into a global charity. With your help CARE will grow its impact, bringing about awareness, treatment, funding, and resources to those suffering from these diseases and those caring for them. All while progressing toward a cure.

Care for A Cure’s Curated Breast Cancer Blog: Breast cancer cells' self-sacrificial behavior uncovered as potential cause of relapse

https://www.careforacure.org/single-post/breast-cancer-cells-self-sacrificial-behavior-uncovered-as-potential-cause-of-relapse

For patients with early-stage breast cancer, there is a 7% to 11% chance of relapse within five years after receiving initial treatment, and this rate can be higher for patients with more advanced stages of the cancer. While chemotherapy aims to eliminate all cancer cells, some of them may evade tre...

Care for A Cure’s Curated Alzheimer’s Disease Blog: AI that reads brain scans shows promise for finding Alzheimer’s genes

https://www.careforacure.org/single-post/ai-that-reads-brain-scans-shows-promise-for-finding-alzheimer-s-genes

Researchers have sifted through genomes from thousands of individuals in an effort to identify genes linked to Alzheimer’s disease. But these scientists have faced a serious obstacle: it’s hard to know for certain which of those people have Alzheimer’s. There’s no foolproof blood test for th...

Care for A Cure’s Curated Breast Cancer Blog: Potentially Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment – Scientists Uncover Mechanics of Breast Cancer Metastasis

https://www.careforacure.org/single-post/scientists-uncover-mechanics-of-breast-cancer-metastasis

New research has discovered that the protein dynein is critical in breast cancer cell movement, providing a new target for treatments that could “paralyze” cancer cells, potentially offering a non-destructive alternative to chemotherapy. Though clinical applications are still forthcoming, this b...

https://www.careforacure.org/single-post/scientists-made-the-largest-map-ever-of-the-brain-and-it-could-change-the-way-we-treat-diseases

The biological material that comprises our brains isn’t easily explored. Understanding that gray matter is rife with challenges that even modern science, which now provides the means to tinker with the tiniest components of our biology through gene-editing, has had some difficulty with. But a cons...
