What's a reliable cancer/ cancer research foundation to donate to?

I recently got quite a sum of money and am planning to donate to assist patients with cancer or cancer research. I also want to make sure that the money goes directly into helping the cause, and not into someone's paycheck. Plz help me find the most reliable/ best foundations or let me know what you recommend! Thanks.

1. You didn't say if you were looking for a specific type of cancer. Try www.charitynavigator.com You can read up on the groups and see what percentage of the budget is spent on overhead, salaries, etc. kate - www.aftercancernowwhat.wordpress.com
2. american cancer society.org is a good one to look up
3. here is a research group but they dont ask for money http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/
