Our Team

SURVIVORS. WARRIORS. CAREGIVERS.

Members of our Board of Directors truly care. Our board is made up of survivors, warriors, and caregivers. Each of us has had a front-row seat to the good, bad, and ugly of cancer. We want to use our experiences to help cancer patients who are receiving their first-time diagnosis to feel confident and prepared. We know that everyone's journey is different, but we hope that our battles will help others to navigate what's ahead.

Meet the Team.
