I support your vital work so those facing genocidal threats in Gaza may be fed.

If Ryan Tilghman can run his next set under 8:45/mile, I’ll donate another 100. 

I gave to sponsor the online and in person retreat ministry of Rev. Dave.  His teachings each week are inspiring and guide my practice so much.

🍲 Gaza Soup Kitchen: Feeding 10,000 People Daily

As famine tightens its grip and markets collapse, Gaza Soup Kitchen is still boiling pots—feeding 1,000 people every day with dignity and determination.

We were the first soup kitchen in North Gaza to lean on local farmers and forage from nature to keep people alive. When others paused, we adapted. When supplies ran out, we improvised.

Today, we operate across 11 kitchens, run a community clinic, and deliver clean water and hot meals to hospitals—even in the hardest-hit zones.

This is survival work, done by people living through the very crisis they’re responding to.

Support the last pots still cooking.

Extending and improving the lives of people with ALK+ lung cancer by raising funds for research and patient support programs.

**Our Vision**

We envision a world where ALK+ lung cancer is a chronic or even curable condition and the next person diagnosed with lung cancer does not have to live under the current stigma.

**Our Start**

\#SweatForBreath started as a grassroots fundraising campaign during Lung Cancer Awareness Month in 2023. After being diagnosed with Stage IV ALK+ lung cancer in November 2022, David Cornbrooks became keenly aware that he was benefiting from the selfless fundraising and awareness efforts of the patients before him.

[Listen to David's story here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWcS-yN7Qxw)

The \#SweatForBreath campaign in 2023 became David, and his wife, Lisa’s, way to help the next generation ALK+ lung cancer patients.

\#SweatForBreath accelerated beyond more than just a typical fundraiser.  The initiative quickly evolved into a community of patients, caregivers, family, and friends seeking to make David and Lisa's vision a reality and the road to that vision more tolerable. People donated, sweat at the in-person cycle event, posted on social media, and helped fundraise through organizing group walks, selling art, "gifting" donations on behalf of clients, and much more.

Their success in 2023 compelled David and Lisa to officially transition the \#SweatForBreath campaign into the Sweat For Breath Foundation, operating through a fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland charitable trust recognized by IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178).

**Our Impact**

Since 2023, over **1,450 donors** have given nearly **$400,000** to the Foundation (or its predecessor campaign). 100% of the proceeds have gone directly to The Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Center in Baltimore, MD to support Dr. Vincent Lam’s ALK+ lung cancer research.

This support provided the critical funding needed to launch Dr. Lam’s clinic trial, which will evaluate the safety of a cancer peptide vaccine to prevent or delay acquired resistance in advanced ALK+ lung cancer patients currently on ALK targeted therapy. Dr. Lam’s vaccine is the **first ALK+ vaccine in the world** to be tested in a clinical trial. Dr. Lam administered the vaccine to the first patient **in clinic on May 13, 2024**!

Cuddles Foundation nourishes children in their fight against cancer. Because #Foodheals



**Feed Children. Starve Cancer.**

Every year, approximately 76,000 children in India may develop cancer, with 58% of them being severely malnourished at the time of diagnosis. For these children, nutrition can mean the difference between life and death. Every child deserves a chance at a cure, and we are here to make that happen.

At Cuddles Foundation, we partner with over 40 government and charity cancer hospitals to support children through our FoodHeals program. Our mission is to ensure that children undergoing cancer therapy receive comprehensive nutritional support. This includes access to trained clinical pediatric nutritionists, expert dietary counsel, supplements, hot meals, monthly ration baskets, and caregiver support. Good food helps the medicine work!

This multi-pronged approach tackles a simple but often ignored aspect of a child’s successful recovery from cancer. While undergoing treatment, it is essential that children have freshly prepared, nutritious food in sufficient quantity and don't stay hungry for long periods. The impact of our work is evident. When part of the FoodHeals Program, 82%* of patients improved or maintained their nutritional status, despite cancer therapy like chemotherapy or radiation.

Additionally, 96% of children followed up* on their treatment plan when nutrition was a part of it, demonstrating the program’s effectiveness. Besides the love and affection of our patients, their families, and our supporters, we’ve won some prestigious awards along the way. This includes the National Award for Child Welfare (2015-16), the Akshaya Patra and UN Global Compact Award (2018) and most recently we received the Global CSR & ESG Awards 2024 - Top 10 Best NGOs of the Year (2024).

Join us in our mission to nourish hope and fight childhood cancer. Your support can make a world of difference.

**As per Cuddles annual impact statistics 2023-24*
**Follow-up treatment rate: Patients who returned for a second visit or continued treatment when nutrition was a part of it.*

Dedicated to erasing medical debt across America. Donors have helped us forgive over $5 Billion in medical debt and counting.

RIP Medical Debt empowers donors to forgive billions in oppressive medical debt. We are dedicated to removing the burden of medical debt for individuals and families and veterans across America.

Medical debt destroys the financial stability of large segments of America’s most vulnerable communities: the sick, the elderly, the poor, and veterans. It also targets the middle class, driving many families who are barely getting along into poverty. Medical debt isn’t the result of bad decisions. It’s a debt of necessity.

By forgiving this debt we strive to give struggling individuals, and their families, a fresh start. We hope to give those affected the ability to seek the continued medical care they need and help them back towards financial stability.

Every day, we receive messages from people who suffer under crushing debt far beyond their financial means to pay—from the son of a stroke survivor in Kentucky whose family could not keep up with their mortgage payments, to the cancer patient in Florida whose debts made it impossible for her to continue with necessary treatment. Rising healthcare costs and endless bills are leaving families with nowhere to turn.

RIP uses donors’ funds to wipe out medical debt from the neediest cases up. 

Once we’ve pinpointed the portfolios for those in or near the poverty level, we buy up their debt and forgive it. Then we send forgiveness notices to the benefiting families, and subsequently help the recipients repair their credit reports—renewing their access to opportunities and resources that will allow them to rebuild and recover.

Phare Bio is using AI/deep learning to discover novel classes of antibiotics to address a looming crisis in antibiotic resistance.

Phare Bio is an ambitious social venture using novel AI and deep learning approaches to antimicrobial development in collaboration with Professor Jim Collins at MIT, a founder of the field of synthetic biology. Phare is a recipient of the Audacious Project, a collaborative funding initiative between TED and other non-profits to unlock social impact on a grand scale. 

The rapid evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and a dwindling discovery pipeline have resulted in an antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. Today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, someone in the U.S. acquires a resistant infection every 11 seconds; every 15 minutes someone dies as a result of one. Covid-19 has only highlighted the urgency with approximately 15% of hospitalized patients suffering from bacterial co-infections. There is a critical need for new antibiotics, and yet, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have largely abandoned the space in favor of more lucrative markets. 

Phare Bio launched in 2020 to tackle this critical unmet need with the latest advances in machine learning to develop entirely novel antibiotics. Integrating world-class expertise and decades of experience in artificial intelligence (AI), bioengineering, and life sciences, Phare is targeting the world's most deadly pathogens, such as Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas, with the goal of developing seven novel classes of antibiotics in seven years.
