Giving hope
For life’s most difficult journeys, there’s no overstating the important role friends and loved ones play in helping you make it through. This is especially true for cancer patients. That’s why, in this season of thanks giving, we urge you to take time to recognize and thank those who are helping patients with emotional, physical, and financial support. And most of all, giving them hope.
Everything we do to encourage cancer patients strengthens them and helps them see past the immediate challenges to a future beyond treatment. One that can be filled with life’s big and joyful events, as well as smaller precious moments — a daughter’s wedding, running a marathon, a grandson’s graduation, joining a community choir, seeing a nephew’s first steps.
To those who inspire our patients to be strong in their fight against cancer, we thank you for giving hope.
