Dear Barbara, This is a thank you for all the work you do and the inspiration you, Jack and the organization offered me when I was diagnosed in 2012. I too am/was a patient at Mayo having competed my Stem Cell transplant in November 2012. I continue in remission with an appointment a couple times a year. The first conference I attended was in March of 2012, two months after I was diagnosed. A friend saw it in the paper and off I went with 2 support friends. Learned a lot, got scared and felt hope all the same day. Thanks so much for the gift of seeing a future.
Sincerely, Cindy

“They have helped countless people through their conferences and caregiver programs. Their dedication and commitment to cancer patients and their caregivers is amazing. They have devoted themselves to making the cancer journey easier to navigate through education and support.”

“Breast Cancer survivor caregiver. I’ve been going to and utilizing the Cancer Caregivers Education Programs for over 7 years. It’s a wonderful program and have helped my family a great deal.”

“I'm grateful for all the information I have learned at all the conferences my family and I have attended. It is great to hear all the top doctors share their knowledge about the latest research and treatment options. The Caregiver Seminars provided me and my sons with lots of useful tips as we continue in our roles as caregivers to my wife who is a multiple myeloma survivor.”
~ Keith, Cancer Caregiver, October 2021

“Every year has been better than the previous. This year's two day event included presentations from Doctors and Researchers from top hospitals and Cancer Institutes across the country. I came away with a solid knowledge of the history of research and drugs developed, and understanding that current direction of research and treatment is toward Immunotherapy. My Oncologist is one of the top ranked in the State, but would never have the time to explain all the history and reasons for the different Chemo drugs I have tried over the years.”

“They are always there with information on my illness. One of the most honest organizations I have had the pleasure to be associated with... God bless Them!”

“While it is true there is a wealth of information available on the internet, it takes a great deal of time and energy to do research on the internet - and it is often difficult to tell if much of the information you find on the internet is accurate. Barbara and Jack Kavanagh are the "life raft" for newly diagnosed cancer patients and their families as they embark on the treacherous ride down the raging river into which they have been thrown without having any chance to prepare for such a dangerous journey.”

“I have been impressed by the quality of free educational programs and support networks this organization provides, as well as the commitment and passion of its founders.”
~ Tal, Program Attendee, Service Provider, April 2016

“They have provided invaluable assistance to countless cancer patients as well as their families, friends, and loved ones. They assist in helping people locate good medical care and other supportive services that become necessary once a person receives a cancer diagnosis. They truly do welcome people into the "family" of cancer survivors.”

“They take a team 7 hours North of the Valley with Doctors, specialist, and resources, to discuss all types of cancers for people living on the Navajo Reservation! The impact it's had up there is amazing!!! In addition to running two major conferences they also have seminars throughout the year for the "Caregivers" of the cancer patients.”
~ Program Attendee, September 2014

“I volunteered for one of the Caregiver Conferences last year ---- afterward; I was so energized by the commitment and enthusiasm of this phenomenal group !!! I am so grateful to be a part of such a caring team.”
