Voices of Caring
Businesses and individuals, sharing why they support people affected by cancer
“I am winning the fight against brain cancer.”

"The trial and error game of drug selection in advanced cancer is difficult and exhausting. This is exactly what Travera hopes to solve for patients with our cutting-edge technology. Consistent with our commitment to cancer care, we have partnered to offer free access to our assay for patients of Cancer Help Desk."

“I care because I am a cancer survivor and became a caregiver to my loved one.”

“I Care. I lost my closest loved ones to cancer and I am committed to helping others find the care they need.”

“I care because every cancer patients needs a guide like we did. Thank you, Cancer Help Desk"

“I Care. People need to know all their options and I am committed to helping anyone dealing with cancer to find answers and personalized support.”

“In sharing my knowledge with those facing cancer, each patient’s journey reminds me that while science guides our path, it’s the human spirit that lights the way."

I Love You, B. One more round to go, 25 for the 4th quarter.

I stand with the founders of Cancer Help Desk as we support people facing cancer one individual at a time.

I am giving in honor of the amazing work of Deb, Rebecca, and Shelley. Cancer Help Desk leadership truly puts patients first.—Shan

In honor of those who fight the fight but "don't have time for this sh*t" known as cancer.--

Driven by the loss of my grandfather to cancer, I pursued a PhD focused on cellular signaling pathways, investigating the intricate network of molecular signals regulating cell behavior. Cellular pathways can be targeted to selectively eliminate cancer cells, potentially leading to more effective therapies.

I care because I have lost several family members to cancer, most recently my sister who lost her short, but valiant battle with small cell lung cancer. I want to help others get the answers and resources they need to battle cancer successfully.

While my contribution is small, it comes with immense respect and admiration for those facing cancer; your strength, resilience, and courage inspire us all to do what we can to support you.

In tribute to all the survivors and those still pushing forward to recovery.

In honor of all the brave fighters and those that help care and support them

In memory of Richard Frisbie, Lisa Podesta and Eugenia Ahlias
