Friends of Suzanne
Compassion, love and caring for those enduring the life crisis affects of a cancer diagnosis.
Friends of Suzanne, was established as a way to honor our friend and our namesake, who is fighting Stage IV Breast Cancer. Our mission is to become a valuable resource for those dealing with the affects of cancer, in any form. Our motto compassion, love and caring is true from diagnosis until remission, and all stages in between. Through our fund raising activities we will assist those who are facing treatment today, as well as offer continued support to survivors. Cancer does not discriminate based on age, or sex, or wealth, or fame. It is a disease that touches each of us. Social status does not matter when the disease takes over; no amount of fame or money, can prevent it nor cure it. When a person is diagnosed with the disease, their treatments often prevent them from working or even performing the most simple tasks. Loss of income comes into play, and the finanicial the burdens they incur, can rapidly get out of control. The events that we hold, will benefit either the individual directly or their family. In the event that a patient is terminal, funds will be collected and used to help their children, and survivors. We will continue to offer support to the family of those who lose their fight, by sponsoring annual events in their memory. |
