Think of the women who have shaped your life: your mom, wife, aunt, grandmother, daughter, friend, or mentor. Whether she’s faced cancer herself or not, you can honor her with a simple act of care: helping someone get to treatment.
The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery® program connects people with cancer to volunteer drivers who provide free rides to and from cancer-related appointments. For patients who can’t drive themselves or lack reliable transportation, that ride can make a difficult day a little easier — and help ensure transportation doesn’t stand between them and the care they need.
The NADA Foundation is currently serving as national sponsor of the Road To Recovery program because as auto dealers, we are uniquely positioned to help solve the transportation issues faced by many people with cancer. You can become a volunteer driver and give your time to a patient in your community. Or, if driving isn’t right for you, you can help recruit others to become drivers. Invite friends, family, or colleagues to join you in supporting this program, and spread the word throughout your workplace or community.
Every ride is a reminder that no one should have to face cancer alone. This month, or any day of the year, honor the women in your life by helping someone else get where they need to go.
