In 2021, a young and talented Journalist sat down with me at a local coffee shop and asked me to tell her my story. My fight long before cancer, my warrior battle against rare terminal cancer twice and then starting UCAAN and the journey that continued. Thank you Makena Huey for the remarkable article!
We are beyond thankful for the testimonials included by a local family helped by UCAAN, The Nobles; as well as our dear friend and long volunteer Jessica Brandonisio! Enjoy the article friends, as much as we did!

Featured Testimonial
Carol Cramer Parks was one of the many survivors who received our Share the Hope Jewelry from our Personal Fundraising Program. Here's a Message from her Daughter Chris Cramer-Sfetku:
"A Wonderful woman, Rachel Shur who runs UCAAN, a non-profit organization that helps people with cancer, reached out to me on Facebook when she saw a post I put about my mom. Rachel is amazing and made these fundraising pendants, especially made for my mom Carol Cramer Parks. They include a dog, camping and a camp fire because those are a few of my mom's favorite things.
We're selling them to raise funds for my mom and Rocky's (Carol's dog with cancer) medical bills and expenses including home care, cleaning and her cremation when she passes. These are her worries and I want to do all I can to help her. We're thankful for UCAAN's Support. This fundraiser will also allow us to fulfill my mom's bucket list.
I can't begin to tell you how amazing Rachel Shur & UCAAN Are, thanks to what they did for my mom.
IF YOU EVER WANT TO DONATE......This Organization is REALLY WORTH IT!"
