Every step matters. Every mile makes a difference.
Thanks to our 5K Walk/Run fundraiser, we can provide new patient support kits for those beginning chemo and radiation treatments—because no one should face the journey alone.
These kits, filled with comfort and care items like cozy blankets, fuzzy socks, hydration bottles, puzzle books, and more, bring hope and strength to patients as they begin treatment. For our radiation patients, additional items like water wipes, baking soda, and soothing skin care supplies are included to help along the way.
