Our
Beneficiaries |
|
Our true beneficiaries are the families who have participated in our program, the
parents who have been given the tools to help their children cope with the confusing
and often unaddressed challenges while they deal with their cancer, and the children
themselves. We invite you to look at a small sample of the families who have benefited
from our services. |
|
Families Who Benefit From Our Programs, such as the:
|
|
Maia and Jed Rogers family |
|
|
|
Maia and her children, participants of CLIMB. Says Maia, "I know that CLIMB helped
me help my children through a very difficult and painful time. Without these unique
resources, we would not have been able to understand their needs at this complex
time in our lives."
|
|
|
|
And the Peggy Peters Family |
|
|
|
Peggy Peters with Maggie and Amy Grace. Peggy says, "My children gave me the most
important gift I've ever received: the gift of unconditional love."
|
|
|
And Meredith Nation, commenting on the impact of the program on her three young
children, says, "The CLIMB program was better than any vacation we could have taken."
|
Moreover, we know we're on to something good with the feedback we get from professionals.
|
At Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center in Middletown, Conn, Anne Campbell- Maxwell,
Administrative Director, says of their recent program, "The CLIMB program fits our
philosophy about providing help and treatment to cancer victims and their families.
It is a wonderful, successful program. The children's enthusiasm and growth is incredible."
In Chattanooga, Tenn, Sam Harris, M. Div, Patient Advocate, Oncology Erlanger Cancer
Center, tells us, "I hope folks will be challenged to move in this unique way to
reach the children in their communities. We certainly are going to be happy to share
our program with others. CLIMB works!"

|
At the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Denver, Alison Faust, RN ND CNS,
Psychosocial Program Coordinator, reports, "CLIMB is an opportunity for families
to learn better ways to communicate about cancer and to express their feelings with
each other. It also shows people that there are other families going through similar
situations, which makes the experience less isolating and scary. And best of all,
it's a place where kids can have fun!"
