It honestly depends what your goal is. You can fund research or treatment, both dollars get spent in entirely different ways. You can work with research hospitals like dana farber, the James or programs like St. Judes et al. One of the best things you can do; b/c lets be frank, even if you donated millions you aren't going to make a dent, is to help raise awareness. Most cancers now a days can be stopped, or have much better treatment outcomes by early detection. If you'd like, I'd recommend you look in to Pelotonia or the Pan Mas Challenge if you are on the east coast / midwest. Both are great organizations where 100% of the money raised goes to cancer research. In addition, you help raise awareness by talking to people about a cause you believe in and it helps spread the word that way. Thats where I focus my time , energy and $$.
