About the John Wayne Cancer FoundationAfter John Wayne's own heroic battle with cancer, the Wayne family established the John Wayne Cancer Foundation (JWCF) in 1985 to advance the fight against the illness. The mission is to bring courage, strength and grit to the fight against cancer. JWCF is aligned with like-minded groups and non-profits that advance the fight against cancer, and has been committed to groundbreaking cancer research and education at the John Wayne Cancer Institute (JWCI), which has received worldwide acclaim for advances in melanoma, breast and colon cancer as well as immune therapy of cancer. Other areas of research include prostate and liver cancer.
