The ripknees foundation

The Ripknee Foundation is a Minnesota-based non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting people who suffer from cancerous diseases. We provide support for both cancer patients and their families.

In 2005, Ripknee Foundation founder Jack Jurewicz was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer of the immune system. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma attacks individuals of all ages, young and old. In 2007 alone, an estimated 63,190 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States; 18,660 Americans will die from the disease.

The Ripknee Foundation brings to life Jack's vision of eliminating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other deadly and debilitating forms of cancer. Many fight this battle with enduring, hope and prayer. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can be beaten with early detection, and continued research promises to find new and better treatments.

Please support the Ripknee Foundation - and the spirit of life, the hunger for hope, and the drive for survival that we stand for and support.
