Dear Friends,
Please join us as we partner with families struggling with cancer, to give them hope and support during one of the most difficult times of their life.
All of us know someone in our own family or within our circle of friends who has been affected by Cancer.
The Seacoast Cancer Center has been a beacon of hope (“Aasha”) to patients and their families in the Seacoast Area & beyond for the past several years. We have been overwhelmed with the love and care that was provided to our loved ones who have and continue to undergo treatment at this facility.
The Center consists of a compassionate team of experienced Cancer experts who offer comprehensive services including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biological, targeted and radiation therapy, and access to research, clinical trials, and genetic testing and counseling.
The Seacoast Cancer 5K has raised over $2 million to benefit patients of the Mass General Cancer Center (MGCC) at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital (WDH). This fundraiser helps and benefits different areas of the Cancer Center including the Survivorship & Wellness Program at the Mass General Cancer Center which supports both the patients and their programmatic needs, but also the staff.
This program also underwrites the cost of key services not covered by insurance such as education for treatment, nutrition counseling, prevention strategies, and patient navigation. It also supports basic needs for those who cannot afford transportation, gas cards, groceries, or other necessities during treatment.
The vision for this program is to provide patients with an array of services that address the medical realities of cancer, such as potential for late-effects, job loss, and financial burden, as well as educational and wellness projects to help patients and those closest to them thrive.
Please partner with us in this mission through the Seacoast Cancer 5K event that is scheduled for September 15th, 2024, at 9:00 AM. Let us come together as a community and provide hope and support for families struggling with this devastating diagnosis.
