About Take Aim at Cancer
In 2009, inspired by his state-of-the-art cancer treatment, Jeff initiated a research fund in conjunction with MDAnderson called the Wigbels/Herbst Cancer Research Fund. Thousands of dollars were raised for cancer research through this fund. In May 2010, Jeff was the recipient of MD Anderson’s “Making Cancer History” Award. In 2011, the fund transitioned into an independent organization called Take Aim at Cancer, receiving 501(c)(3) status in January 2012.
Successful treatment of lung cancer may be just the beginning.
Take Aim at Cancer’s mission is to raise critical funding for increased research, scientific collaboration and awareness of targeted cancer therapy, so that more people who are battling cancer can have the opportunity for this ground-breaking, personalized treatment and the chance for a brighter future.
