I have been a board member of the Mission of Hope Cancer Fund for the past 8 years. During this time I have lost a few relatives to cancer. Our family has been fortunate enough to have had insurance and financial strength to weather the storm but there are many many families who cannot. I have witnessed first hand the gratitude of affected families who we have been able to help. Through our founders financial help and more importantly first hand compassion, cancer patients have been able to continue treatment and keep a positive attitude in their fight against a horrible affliction.
