Before the American Heart Association existed, people with heart disease were thought to be doomed to complete bed rest — or destined to imminent death.
But a handful of pioneering physicians and social workers believed it didn’t have to be that way. They conducted studies to learn more about heart disease, America’s No. 1 killer. Then, on June 10, 1924, they met in Chicago to form the American Heart Association — believing that scientific research could lead the way to better treatment, prevention and ultimately a cure. The early American Heart Association enlisted help from hundreds, then thousands, of physicians and scientists.

ASK CHILDHOOD CANCER FOUNDATION
ASK was founded in 1975 by a small group of parents of pediatric cancer patients at MCV Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. They joined together to provide mutual support, to search for answers and to deal with the devastating diagnosis. They started to make small changes: collecting books, toys and games to help their children pass the time in the clinic and they organized parent gatherings for support. These parent volunteers became the founding members of ASK. Their mission was simple and remains unchanged today as we continue to strive for ways to make life better for children with cancer.
