The Georgetown Nutrition House is leading a community campaign to raise funds for The Aldo Fund, in support of holistic cancer research and education-- an aspect of cancer care that has received little attention until now.
Founded and spearheaded by Nutrition House, The Aldo Fund was established in October 2007 in partnership with the Holistic Health Research Foundation of Canada. It is named in memory of Nutrition House co-founder Aldo Dominguez, who passed away from lymphoma in 2004. The purpose of The Aldo Fund is to advance the scientific understanding of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)-- from nutrition, vitamins and herbs to acupuncture and massage therapy-- and its potential role in the prevention and treatment of cancers.
Donations to The Aldo Fund can be made at Nutrition House stores using a $2, $5 or $10 coupon scanned at check-out, or online at www.aldofund.ca.
