Families

Hala Moddelmog, the President & CEO of The Susan G. Komen for the Cure put it best:

"At Komen we understand the need to treat all aspects of cancer. Research, education, screening and treatment are just part of the equation. We must continue to help the families and patients and help them meet there needs during their difficult times. We also must help patients and families live each day to the fullest and create storehouses of memories. Thousands will lose love ones...parents, husbands, sons and daughters; it is especially hard on the children. The Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation is having a profound impact on the lives of these families..."

Life does not end with a diagnosis. A family's remaining time together should not be completely marked by the chaos, pain, and medical battle of cancer.

The Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation is an investment in social capital. Children are innately special and happy. Even the organization's name conveys the joy, innocence, and simplicity of life that every child should experience.

The pictures, the smiles, the joy, the words, the gratitude: This is what this FAMILIES section is all about.
