Our mission as the Wishing Star Organization is to raise awareness about illnesses to support patients and their families in the global community. We organize and volunteer at health education and outreach events in the United States and Peru, as well as organize grassroots fundraisers and donations to raise funds for underserved patients and medical research. 100% of all of our proceeds directly benefit the American Cancer Society, HOPE Services, hospitals, clinics, and other charities to promote global health and support our global communities.
Cancer Awareness
Every year, millions of people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer. Cancer occurs due to the uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells that eventually overtake the health of normal cells, leading to illness. From lung and breast cancer to pediatric cancer and lymphoma, cancer varies in many shapes and forms, affecting individuals and their loved ones.
Cancer cells form lumps of tumors that can be successfully treated when detected at earlier stages. Much of research today aims to discover earlier detection tools, diagnosis methods, and improved treatments of cancer. Groups all over the world work together to raise cancer awareness and fundraise to fund cancer research and help future cancer patients.
