Angela at LMF is wonderful to deal with! I love that they support patients in getting the treatment that a rare cancer requires. LMF was great in helping us help others through our carcinoid awareness race. We are in a state where carcinoid treatment is not close at hand and expenses can get the better of the patient. Every patient deserves the chance to fight and LMF helps make that possible. Thanks for all you do!!!!

A year ago when I learned my carcinoid cancer had metastasized to my liver, my sister decided to organize an awareness race in our community. She began researching existing non-profits to whom we could send our proceeds, and when she found LMF, I thought it was the perfect fit! After my recent experience, I had a renewed sense of the importance of helping patients with expensive travel-related costs, surgeries, and LIFELONG therapy for this rare cancer. Hats off to LMF for the amazing work you do!

Unfortunately, for many patients, instead of being able to focus on just getting through their treatments, they instead are overwhelmed with figuring out how to deal with the financial burdens that the diagnosis has brought into their lives. The LMCCF helps individual patients with these realities in ways that many cancer organizations do not, by directly helping patients pay their medical bills, and helping them deal with their day-to-day life expenses. This has made a significant difference for those who LMCCF has been able to assist.

The Lois Merrill Foundation has done a great job in fundraising and sharing their successes in helping patients pay their medical bills. This is such a great cause and 100% of ALL the money raised now goes to paying medical bills for patients in need. What an amazing way to help people.
