"When I was diagnosed for the 2nd time with cancer my family and I were devastated. When my friend found this out she went to bat for me and other cancer patients and set up CnC in Kalispell. We all chipped in to help, because we knew what great things CnC do for cancer patients. That 1st year we did pretty good. We had a little get together afterwards and I was presented a check from CnC that made the world of difference for my family. When you're not ready for the unexpected and have CnC there for support it makes a world of difference in your life as well as your family because you know you are not alone and there is this organization out there to help so many and to make that difference! I will always be indebted to them and my friend who made a difference and is still here for me!"
