My Nonprofit Reviews

I am an 8 year survivor offstage three adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer. Dx 8 August 2012. Pre treatment, surgery and post chemo completed by April 2013. Part of a cancer hospital survivorship program to reach out to new patients. No other associations. I found ECAN on the net and shared my story. Forward to Nov or Dec of 2014. Announcement made by ECAN regarding fundcraiser/ awareness event. Rappelling off Hilton Hotel, Hollywood, Ca. Told ECAN I would be honored to raise funds but wouldn't be able to make the trip. Mindy Mintz Mordecai replied "you raise the funds Steve, we'll send you on the trip". 49 people rapelled. 46 were family or friends of patients. Two of us were survivors and one was a patient in treatment. I was the long term survivor at a bit over two years. The event was an incredibly well orchestrated and successful beacon of light. I was treated like a King and the 360' drop from the roof was incredible. This organization is a remarkable lighthouse in the world of really nasty cancer.
