In the early 2000's, a group of concerned local
citizens formed an organization called Friends of the Cancer Center,
to support cancer research, cancer patients and patients' friends and
families. The group's work
benefited area residents, and as the needs of the community grew, the need
for additional resources and support did as well.
Friends Fighting Cancer has been established to
continue this important work with the same spirit of services as the
forerunner organization.
Friends Fighting Cancer
is committed to giving hope and celebrating life by treating cancer patients
and their families with compassion and providing them with spiritual,
emotional, financial, and education support.
Cancer is an insidious diseases that severely impacts
the lives of patients, their family members and friends.
Friends Fighting Cancer is a patient advocacy volunteer
group whose members are driven by the shared purpose of being advocates for
cancer patients who have been or are undergoing chemotherapy or other
treatment for cancer.
