Mark Shuttleworth spoke with John Salter and Rosa LaDelfa, both co-chairs for this year’s Heroes Ball with Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club.
-They explained the background of Cancer Support Community
-It’s been around since 1959 providing support to adults, teens and children with all types of cancer
along with their families and caregivers at no cost support to them.
-They offer general and cancer-type specific support groups led by a licensed facilitator, healthy lifestyle
programs (ie., yoga, cooking, guitar and art classes, workshops, and more), and educational and social
activities where people can benefit from interaction and engagement with others who understand and
share their cancer journey.
