We stand on the shoulders of the great organizations that came before us. Our list of partners isn't a laundry list of stuff that's out there. These are the organizations we have experience with. Organizations that have proven to us they're serving caregivers well. Heck, when we send you to one of these partners it doesn't even feel like we're sending you somewhere else.
5 million children are coping with a parent's cancer diagnosis. That’s 5 million children at risk of experiencing increased anxiety, emotional isolation, loss of social interest, or feelings of hopelessness. And that’s why, at Kesem, they are committed to creating a world where every child who has a parent with a cancer diagnosis or has lost a parent to cancer is never alone. They support these children through and beyond their parent’s cancer with free, fun-filled creative programs and a lasting community.
At Cancer Legal Care, they know that the financial and legal issues a cancer patient faces can be as devastating as the cancer diagnosis itself.

Although the survival rate for colon cancer is 90% when it’s caught in the early stages, only 40% of cases are being diagnosed during this window.

By making the words colon, colorectal and colonoscopy a part of everyday language, we can overcome the fear and decrease deaths from this largely preventable cancer.
