Once again, I am participating in the Annual Team Tennis to Smash Cancer on Sunday, November 12, 2023 at the Boss Tennis Center here at Dartmouth. Our local tennis community gathers together to play the game we love all to help out Dartmouth Cancer Center - the place where family and friends get treatment, work and volunteer.
My mom, my dad and my friends have all been affected by cancer and have gotten treatment here -- most importantly my good friend Janet who just rang the bell in completion of her treatment. We play for her today and all other survivors on the team "Survival Mode". And we honor those who have passed and hope that one day there will be a cure.
This year we are designating our funds for those in survival mode who are also dealing with food insecurity. 1 in 5 cancer patients here at Dartmouth are food insecure and a new Food Pantry has been set up at the Cancer Center in conjunction with our local food bank The Haven. Food Is Medicine is their philosophy, and those in need receive a food delivery for themselves and family members at the end of their treatment on a regular basis. The Food Pantry is expanding and our SMASH CANCER event will help them reach their goal and be able to service more patients!
Won't you help me SMASH CANCER and reach our fundraising goal and help expand the Food Pantry? Please click the donate button below. I'll be sure to send you a new picture of me smashing cancer and will send you a new video about the Food Pantry!
Thank you for helping me SMASH CANCER!
