In May 2000, Cancer Warriors Foundation (CWF) was established by James Auste and dedicated men and women whose families' lives have been touched by cancer and who have committed to help in the FIGHT against cancer. It is essentially a volunteer network of young people who have committed and are freely sharing their time, skills and resources to advance the fight against childhood cancers and to assist in the treatment and care of poor and disadvantaged kids stricken with cancer.
The foundation is committed to the fight against cancer. It will pursue the following:
* F acilitating increased awareness and understanding of childhood cancers, with emphasis on early detection, proper management and care.
* I nitiating programs and activities that will inspire cancer patients, survivors and their families, that there is hope and life, even with cancer.
* G enerating support and pro-active involvement of various sectors in information/education/communication (IEC), and advocacy, especially on childhood cancers.
* H elping ensure that poor and impoverished children with cancer will have access to timely and appropriate diagnosis, proper treatment and quality care.
* T aking the lead in building and strengthening linkages and encouraging resource – sharing, between and among local and international groups, involved in cancer prevention and care.
The Cancer Warriors Foundation is engaged in innovative programs and activities to bring across its message and challenge: LET'S HELP KIDS BEAT CANCER.

One of the many projects of Cancer Warriors is the BIKE FOR LIFE. The first one was the southern Luzon and Visayas Journey on June 4-22 in 2000. The second one was the Northern Luzon Journey on August 31 - September 15 in 2002. After 5 years, CWF will be embarking on its 3rd Bike for Life project from Manila to Davao on September 16-30.
