ABOUT THE WHY? FOUNDATION


THE FOUNDATION: The Why? Foundation is a cancer resource center being created by Allison W. Gryphon as a response to her April 2011 breast cancer diagnosis.

RESOURCE CENTER: The Why? Foundation website will serve as an easy-to-use resource website which offers information on all cancers in a clear and straightforward manner, the presentation and access being based on the understanding that cancer fighters and caretakers are generally overwhelmed and stressed for time and energy.

THE BLOG: The Why? Foundation blog is up and running. Intended to share news, inspiration and tid bits on everything from diet to research to people making a difference this is more of an informal blog open to and interested in a wide range of cancer related information. 

FIGHTER BAGS: As The Why? Foundation evolves Fighter Bags will be introduced. Fighter Bags will be made available to anyone with a cancer diagnosis and will include a selection of donated products intended to help each cancer fighter recipient mentally, physically and emotionally.

MEDIA: Our Press Kit along with Articles, News and Interviews about The Why? Foundation A.W. Gryphon’s Cancer Fight can be found on the Media Page.

A.W. GRYPHON: Meet the woman behind The Why? Foundation, Fighter Bags and the upcoming documentary filmWhat the F-@# is Cancer and Why does Everybody Have It?

THE ALLISON WAY: How do you get through cancer treatment with minimal side effects? Allison managed chemo without feeling sick, radiation with only temporary and minimal skin damage and she stayed strong through three surgeries. There is no guarantee this will work for others, but Allison is constantly being asked how she did it. On the Allison’s Way page she shares everything that held her together both mentally and physically in the hope that it might give cancer fighters some ideas to discuss with their doctors, support system and medical team.
 
ASK ME ANYTHING: Allison W. Gryphon will begin the “Ask Me Anything” talks in late 2012. She will be visiting various groups, small and large, to simply sit, chat candidly and answer questions about what it was like to fight Breast Cancer.
 
MAGICAL FOODS: Coming soon!
 
THE DOCUMENTARY : On April 10, 2011 Allison W. Gryphon found a lump in her breast. On April 13th she was diagnosed with stage IIIa breast cancer. Her immediate instinct was to pick up a camera and start asking questions. Not only for herself, but for all of us. What The F-@# Is Cancer and Why Does Everybody Have It? is one cancer fighter’s journey of hope into the medical unknowns and emotional avalanche that is the cancer crisis.

I’m working to make the film I wanted to see when I was diagnosed with cancer. – Allison W. Gryphon
