Resources & Programs

 

Imerman Angels

Imerman Angels partners individuals seeking cancer support with a Mentor Angel — a cancer previvor, survivor or caregiver who has been in their shoes. These one-on-one relationships inspire hope and offer the chance to ask personal questions and receive support from someone who is uniquely familiar with the experience. Mentor Angels can lend support and empathy while helping cancer fighters and caregivers navigate the system, determine their options and create their own support systems.

KiDS NEED MoRE

KiDS NEED MORE is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, families and young adults coping with cancer and life-threatening illness.

Okizu

The mission of Okizu is to help all members of families affected by childhood cancer to heal through peer support, respite, mentoring, and recreational programs.  

True North Treks

True North Treks is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower young adults and caregivers affected by cancer to "find direction through connection." One of the primary ways we do this is by taking groups on free backpacking and canoeing treks in beautiful and remote wilderness destinations where they can engage in three crucial connections that are missing from conventional cancer care: 1) connection with nature (after going through something as unnatural as cancer treatment), 2) connection with peers who get it and have walked a similar path, and 3) connection with oneself through mindful awareness practices, such as meditation and yoga.

First Descents

First Descents provides life-changing outdoor adventures for young adults (ages 18 - 39) impacted by cancer and other serious health conditions.
