Founders Note
I've always been passionate about going to college, getting married, and starting a family. I married my soulmate a year after college and during the following year we began the journey to parenthood. We had no idea of the struggles we were about to endure or the devastating effects of what the future would hold. A year after unsuccessful pregnancy attempts, we sought help from a fertility specialist. After five years of treatments my husband and I became the proud parents of a healthy and beautiful son.
Our journey to parenthood continues... After many tests, infertility drugs, artificial inseminations, IVF cycles, and a misscarriage we received the most devastating news of all, Cancer.
Four months after another failed Invitro, I was diagnosed with Cancer. The news was shocking. It left us devastated and unable to have more children.
Today, I am a Cancer Survivor and Mother. I am also a volunteer and patient advocate. I started this organization in 2005 to help other cancer survivors on the road to parenthood after cancer. Today, with the help of many volunteers, we are helping cancer patients, survivors, and their families.
Together we are making a difference in the fight against cancer!
Everyone needs a stepping stone in the journey of life.
