Our Team and Our Story

The People Behind DC4C

Because cancer doesn’t pause. So neither do we.

We’re not your typical nonprofit. We’re part strategy shop, part loudspeaker, part life-saving cavalry—on a mission to make early detection and smart screening as routine as brushing your teeth. Our team blends science, creativity, and just enough stubbornness to actually make things happen.

We didn’t start with a big boardroom. We started with a heartbreak.

Janine Shore lost her mom, Paula, to lung cancer—because the tools that might have caught it early weren’t made available in time. That wasn’t okay. So she co-founded Delivering Cures 4 Cancer to make sure the next Paula doesn’t slip through the cracks. From that point on, it was go time.

We’ve built DC4C to cut through the noise. We push for access to real tools—like OneTest (a multi-cancer early detection blood test), PAULA’s test (designed to flag early-stage lung cancer), and serial skin screenings like the ones offered at Shore Dermatology. These aren’t future breakthroughs. They exist right now. And we’re making sure people know about them—and can actually use them.

Because what’s the point of progress if it never leaves the lab?

We deliver more than cures—we deliver action.

CEO, Shore Dermatology

Strategist. Advocate. Daughter. Disruptor.

Janine runs one of the top dermatology and medspa practices in the region, and leads DC4C with the kind of energy you can’t fake. Her mission is personal—and her approach is relentless. She brings together the best of medicine and media to turn cancer prevention into something you don’t put off. Because if it’s not reaching real people, it’s not good enough.

Creative Ops + Strategy | UVA | Ex-agency brain with a bias for action

Kris is our translator-in-chief. Not for languages—for science. The kind that needs a pulse, a purpose, and a headline people actually read. Part strategist, part storyteller, part operations ninja, Kris turns biomarkers into belief, and complex data into campaigns that move. Fast.

You'll find Kris wherever the mission meets the message—refining ops, sharpening strategy, punching up the copy. Always pushing it forward. And yeah, probably right.

Our Partners in Prevention
Doctors. Researchers. Advocates. Humans.

We’re proud to work with clinicians offering next-generation cancer screenings, scientists developing smarter diagnostics, and families who’ve lived the reality of cancer—people who believe in action over awareness and impact over intention. They keep us honest. They keep us focused. And they’re a core part of everything we do.
