Why cancer research?
The reason why I would like to donate the money to cancer research organizations is that, according to the American Cancer Society, “In 2020, there will be an estimated 1.8 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 606,520 cancer deaths in the United States.” My family has also been highly affected by cancer: My old babysitter and my dog died of cancer, and my mom had breast cancer twice. Although my mom is fine, many other people are not because cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, very close after heart-disease.
