CANCER KINSHIP
“Cancer is scary.
Your life doesn’t have to be”
Over 16.9 million Americans are cancer survivors, each with their own story. Cancer Kinship aims to increase support of this growing community. They guide cancer patients through and after treatments, help them regain control of their lives, and help reduce the risk of relapse. Through peer mentorship, education and empowerment, socialization, and resource navigation, Yoli and Cancer Kinship support each survivor and their unique story. UHSM is inspired by Cancer Kinship and their mission; check out some of the incredible work this organization does.
UHSM Partners Teaming Up To Fight Cancer
Check out what Yoli had to say about the event:
“Wow, what can I say to fully express my gratitude to you all? My words are not adequate but the feeling in my heart says it all. Friday’s Love Drops were so special and I appreciate you all tons for your partnership and support! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for uplifting our partners at the Melinda Hoag Center and St. Joseph’s Cancer Center. And thank you to the UHSM team for sponsoring the Love Drops and for spearheading the month-long colorectal cancer awareness campaign in support of the Andretti family’s campaign that will undoubtedly save lives.”
