Road to Recovery

Having cancer is hard. Finding a ride to treatment shouldn’t be. Sometimes getting there is half the challenge. The American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program needs volunteers to drive cancer patients to and from their treatments.

If you have a car and insurance, safe driving skills, and can drive as little as one morning or afternoon a month, you can give someone peace of mind and the chance to get to their treatments.
