Big H’s goal is to support a wide variety of programs, research and studies designed to advance the science of early cancer detection.
Whether you are able to give a little or a lot, we thank you sincerely for funding the research in the fight against cancer.
We are starting this charity in memory of our dad, Howie Arons, aka Big H. The goal is to prevent sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, family members from getting the same call that we got from our dad (which also happens to be the same call he got from his dad at the same age). Obviously we would love to cure cancer, but in reality our view is that if we could detect/catch it while it is in its early stages before it spreads, we can save lives.
That is our goal… That is our mission.
Hard work, passion, positivity (regardless of circumstances), intensity, toughness, commitment, enthusiasm, believing in oneself, giving it your all and never giving up. These may sound like catch phrases and hallmark cards to some – for Howie Arons, these mantras embodied his soul and spirit. They poured out of every part of his body to everyone he came in contact with, including the thousands of students, fellow coaches and teachers he impacted in his 40 year career. From his perspective, these were not only the traits that made someone a good tennis player, but they were ones that made someone a successful, strong, good and happy person.
or about half, of people diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer live for at least five years after diagnosis. The five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other areas of the body is 4 percent.
