Next Generation Choices Foundation Inc

Next Generation Choices Foundation - Less Cancer is a positive disruptor in the cancer prevention and awareness landscape! Through advocacy, education, and empowerment, Less Cancer seeks to advance policies, initiatives, and strategies to prevent and reduce all types of cancer. As a person who has had 8 close family members stricken with cancer, I am immensely thankful for this work and am honored to support it.

After losing my brother (and best friend) to lymphoma, I was introduced to Next Generation Choices Foundation — aka Less Cancer. The organization is unique in that it targets behavior we can collectively change before cancer strikes, a prophylactic approach. The leadership is warm and empathic, the vision is strong, and the events they produce are meaningful, well designed, and impactful, particularly their connection to politicians in Washington and nationally. In a time of great discord, collaborating over fighting cancer has become a reliably bi-partisan opportunity.

Less Cancer is truly an amazing organization, making a difference in so many people’s lives…now and in the future. The leader is a true warrior, working hard to be an advocate for all of those that have been affected by cancer. The world is a better place because of Less Cancer.

As a cancer survivor, I cannot express how grateful I am for Less Cancer’s work raising awareness and changing the paradigm to cancer prevention rather than treatment. Thank you Less Cancer!

Its many programs to educate the general public on cancer prevention as well as workshops for public health professionals, physicians and nurses are making such huge impacts in communities across the Country.

There are many nonprofits engaged in researching cures for cancer, but very few that address the environmental causes. Less Cancer is it's in the vanguard of changing the dialogue about cancer. It's not a message corporate America wants to hear or support. So it is up to individuals who care deeply about the consequences of unfettered use of toxic chemicals in our food and irresponsible, unregulated discharges of pollution into our environment to support organizations like Less Cancer.

I live on the New Hampshire border and am concerned with water quality issues as they relate to both wildlife and human life. Next Generation is doing incredible work raising awareness about PFAS chemicals and their connection to cancer in children. Unlike many orgs, they're working tirelessly to educate the public and policy makers in order to prevent cancers, an impressive goal.

I have volunteered for the Less Cancer Foundation for the last three Split the Mitt Cycling events. I am so impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication of Bill Couzens and other members of this awesome organization to the mission of educating the public about cancer prevention. There are so many things we can do to reduce the risk of getting cancer and Less Cancer is so important in leading the charge to create a healthier world!

Less Cancer Foundation has succeeded in bringing the word “prevention” into the Cancer conversation. From grass roots events around the country to National Cancer Prevention Day on Capitol Hill, founder Bill Couzens is relentless in his efforts to raise awareness about healthy environmental and lifestyle choices.

As an artist, I have donated paintings to fundraisers for LessCancer. I do this because I believe wholeheartedly in this amazing group and how it creatively and tirelessly promotes prevention, education and legislation.

I have learned so much from this group— the activities and writings are always so topical and inspirational with information that I feel helps me be a better and more enlightened citizen.

LessCancer delivers advocacy and heart to the greater public. Whether in Washington DC or on America’s wheat fields— this is a group that walks the walk in creating a better, healthier and more intelligent knowledge base for us, our children and children’s children.

I strongly urge you support LessCancer.

Less Cancer distinguishes itself from other non-profit organizations by focusing on large scale advocacy for the prevention of cancer and chronic disease. The organization does amazing work educating the general public, healthcare workers, and our nation's leaders on the importance of cancer and disease prevention through workshops and social media outlets. I am an avid supporter of this cause and organization, and encourage others to become involved and learn more about Less Cancer's important work.

Next Generation Choices Foundation, fondly known at Less Cancer, takes a unique community based approach to helping individuals, families, healthcare organizations and importantly, legislators understand the environmental challenges, and policy limitations that are barriers to promotion and preventing Cancer. They leverage the evidence from current research, policies, and multiple reporting sources to highlight the impact of cancer causing agents in our environment. this organization actively seeks community based strategies and approaches to promote health, wellness and advocacy for our communities. I have been involved with this organization for over 8 years and believe that their approach is critically important to helping to prevent cancer, a community at a time.

For almost 10 years, I have had the distinct honor to serve on the board for Less Cancer, a division of Next Generation Choices Foundation, and witness the phenomenal impact of countless talented and generous colleagues to address environmental causes of cancer. As an academic nursing leader and tobacco control expert for well over 40 years, there is no stronger voice for health promotion and cancer prevention than to "walk the talk". Through Bill Cousins' leadership as CEO of Less Cancer, those opportunities occur daily whether in the board room or meeting with legislators on Capitol Hill or raising money through cross-country biking, the work is joyful and meaningful and we are making a difference one community at a time!

I've been on the board of Next Generation Choices for over 10 years and am amazed at the impact the org has made in getting the conversation going about the fact that getting cancer is not a given. That the choices we make in our lifestyle and how we treat our environment can greatly reduce our chances of getting cancer. I wholly support their mission and the org is extremely efficient with the small funds they receive. I hope more people appreciate how Bill is using social media to inform people of the multiple values of preventing over curing cancer.

Part of Less Cancer's strategy is the the "Power of Collaboration" and the idea of strength in numbers. Being part of Less Cancer's Facebook community really keeps me informed of current news within the organization and aware of upcoming events and lectures. It also allows me to see other members' comments and ideas, adding to the sense of community within the organization.

Next Generation Choices is a unique organization in a number of ways. Instead of working the cancer problem from the side of consequences, they are working the problem at the roots. What is causing the incredible cancer issue in our world? What choices (or Next Generation Choices) can we make that will prevent this problem for our children's children? I have a friend who once explained that there are three ways to die: old age, car wreck, or cancer. That's an unfortunate reality. Cancer should not be expected in our families. Next Generation Choices has created an impressive group of leaders who are looking at the cancer issue from scientific and social perspectives. They are thoughtully working the problem in a way that doesn't garner enough national attention -- but could ultimately make the difference.

Next Generation's "Less Cancer" facebook presence helps keep me, my friends and family informed about how we can prevent cancers and about events that may affect how much cancer develops in the future. I have highly recommended them to my friends and family.

I have donated time and money towards Less Cancer, a division of Next Generation Choices Foundation. They work tirelessly to support and design programs and inform people on the environmental causes of Cancer. The programs I have personally been involved with have been in my field as a Health and Nutrition Coach. I join Less Cancer in supporting local and sustainable organic farming and methods, and have collaborated on information videos to bring this message to the others. I have also attended some of their public programs with Dr. Donovan of U. Pittsburgh Center for Environmental Oncology, a well known expert in cancer prevention and environmental toxins.
