Nationally, cancer is the leading cause of death
for women between the ages of 35-54, and the statistics in Michigan
aren't any different. The Women's Cancer Fund was created to help
women in northern Michigan who have been diagnosed with cancer.
Funds are raised through community support and programming, such
as the From
Women's Hands Art Exhibit and Sale and the Remembrance Run,
an event of the Traverse
City Track Club.
Every dollar received in the fund is used to provide
financial assistance for supportive care when other means have
been exhausted. This includes prosthetics, transportation, childcare
during treatment, home medications, etc.
The Women's Cancer Fund provides help that isn't
found through traditional financial assistance programs, allowing
women to fight their battle with dignity.
