I am both honored and humbled to lead the nationwide team of volunteers to fund John’s dream. Together, we can eradicate the word cancer from the next generation’s vocabulary."

Maryann Yochim, President
"Since losing my husband to pancreatic cancer in 2005, I have focused my efforts to support research toward a cure for this terrible disease. For me, there couldn’t be a more meaningful way to honor his memory than to become involved in such promising research through the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation."
Peter Depowski, MD, Vice President
Peter Depowski, Board of Directors Vice President for Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation - Erie, PA "We see the faces of cancer every day. At home, work, restaurants, shopping malls and throughout our daily lives. While there have been great strides in cancer care, many still do not survive. With cancer accounting for more deaths than any other disease in the US, we have a great battle yet to fight. New ideas and technologies give us hope for more effective treatments and a better tomorrow. I'm proud to be part of the solution."
Jay Alberstadt, Secretary
Jay Alberstadt, Board of Directors Secretary for Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation - Erie, PA - "I was approached by Mayor Sinnott to assist in creating the documents validating KCRF as an IRS approved, 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The evolution continued as I was asked to serve on the newly formed board as general counsel and now as vice president. Cancer took the life of my mother. I hope my involvement can change that outcome for future families."

"I cringe when I even hear the word cancer. It is an ugly disease that affects all of us in some way; it has taken my mom, and many other relatives and friends. I can only hope that someday soon we will see John’s miracle treatment become a reality!"
Joyce Savocchio
"Our community and region has an opportunity to be a part of a significant and historic undertaking. By supporting the research–ongoing research of the non-invasive radio wave cancer treatment discovered by John Kanzius, we can all unite in finding a cure for cancer and in rebuilding our community’s vision for the future."
Thomas Fucci, MPA
"It's hard to find someone you know who has not been touched by cancer in some way, either directly or indirectly. We're all in this together and I believe we all have something to give to help find a cure for this disease."
Patrick Fetzner
"It is an honor to be on the Board. John's non-invasive cancer treatment has been hailed as the 'most exciting cancer research breakthrough in the last 20 years!' by Dr. Steve Curley of M.D. Anderson Medical Center. The thought of eradicating this insidious disease, which has touched virtually every family, would be one of the greatest humanitarian feats of our time."
Jeffrey Ludrof
"I first met John Kanzius during my own battle with cancer and was immediately impressed with his vision and tenacity to cure this terrible disease. John's idea will not only have a huge positive impact on the Erie, PA community, but the world. I am proud to serve and support this foundation."
