Our mission is to build a familiar and trustable national system for the emotional support of cancer patients.
Just like 911 is called during emergencies, CanSER would be the go-to resource for those facing cancer!
We recently launched a national campaign.
Endorse today, and help me build this national model!

Mission
With nearly 13 Million (2001-2019) cancer survivors needing emotional support, it is a national problem that needs a national solution! Unfortunately, NONE exists!
Our mission is to build a ‘national organization with local chapters’ that is familiar & provides trustable one-on-one emotional support for cancer survivors! We aim to do this by –
- Building a Seattle Chapter of CanSER offering emotional Support, Educational, Research resources. The Seattle chapter will be a template for other chapters to follow.
- Incessantly campaigning to build a national level organization, CanSER!
