What is the best organization to donate to for heart and lung cancer research


What is the best organization to donate to for heart and lung cancer research?
I know there are many, but which ones actually get the most "bang for their buck," so to speak. Organizations actually doing the research, not just educating the public.

Deborah Heart and Lung Center. They do incredible work, and they don't charge people for the work if the people can't pay. They are pioneers in the research and implementing of new techniques and treatments, and they don't bow to insurance and pharmaceutical companies. They do what needs to be done, and I wouldn't have a brother if it wasn't for them.

City of Hope has one of the best records for spending donations on actual research and cure. They work with almost all life-threatening illnesses, and believe in curing not just the body, but the soul as well (through programs like their "Positive Imaging" centers). They are starting to get more well-known now, but have been around for almost 100 years! The reason a lot of people haven't heard about City of Hope is because they don't spend much of their budget on PR and Advertising. Check them out. I haven't been active in an actual chapter in quite some time, but it used to be something like 87 cents out of every dollar collected went directly to the actual charity instead of paying some (already rich) director hundred of thousands of dollars.

Huntsman cancer institute located in Salt Lake City, Utah. You'll have to do a google search for the website and donor info.
