	*About the Foundation* The A Way With Words Foundation (AWWWF) was created for people who are survivors, relatives, or anyone who has been touched by cancer. The primary goals are to provide avenues of expression for cancer survivors, especially after treatment; to generate resources for healing and surviving; to increase awareness of cancer in children; and to raise money for cancer research and for cancer survivors. We also wish to raise awareness about cancer challenges and survivor tools in a way that creates a positive force in our communities. Learn more about the Foundation . . . .
