End of Year Appeal 2016

Jim and Laya continue to share with us their stories and heartfelt words in support of GRACE. Watch now – the story of how Jim and Laya came to know GRACE, and visit our donate page to give in honor of someone, in honor of yourself, in honor of GRACE.

You no doubt already have experienced the power of personal connection provided by the Global Resource for Advancing Cancer Education (GRACE). We are two of GRACE’s earliest followers and the relationship we forged became a lifeline during dark times for each of us.

We found a network of support at GRACE – from the faculty who provided vital information to patients and fellow caregivers. When we found GRACE, we found a caring community of doctors who would patiently answer our questions. We found critical data to help us make informed decisions. We found new friends in one another – it’s a tremendous gift to know someone who can understand what you and your family are experiencing. Most importantly, what we think is amazing about GRACE – is that it has leveled the playing field for everyone. Someone who lives in Small Town, USA, may not have access to doctors who specialize in their cancer – and that isn’t right. When life and death are on the line, geography should not matter. Everyone should be able to get the same information about their disease, regardless of where they live.

The holidays are a time to connect and to celebrate the relationships that sustain us. We invite you to join us in honoring the incredible work of GRACE that has made life-changing connections possible for all whose lives are touched by cancer. Thank you for being part of our community and Happy Holidays.

Thank you,
