I am committed to the idea that The Cancer Connection Idaho will provide free services to those in need in collaboration with all our fine health care facilities and practitioners in the Treasure Valley. There is more than enough heartache to go around and more than enough energy in our valley to help mend the heartache.

Physical and emotional changes can have a huge effect in our lives. It is my goal to encourage those affected to embrace the positive side. It can far outweigh the negative.

Prom night!!

My son-in-law was diagnosed with mouth cancer. I spent a month in the UK during and after his extensive surgery. I didn’t know anyone there and was pretty much on my own in a foreign country without my support system. But during that month away, the importance of having a community was brought home to me in a very personal way.

My hope for The Cancer Connection is that we can help others as they embark on such an unfamiliar journey and I know that our family will directly benefit from the resources offered in this new resource.

My dream is to provide a place where people living with cancer can find camaraderie, joy, support, and hope. A place where they can get their non-medical needs met by educating and empowering themselves beyond what traditional medicine can provide.
