Please Keep This Candle Going andBecome a Mentor of a Cancer Surviver
Learning that you have cancer can be an overwhelming experience - one that leaves you frightened, vulnerable and alone. The 4th Angel Mentoring Program offers free, one-to-one, confidential outreach and support by matching cancer patients with volunteers who are cancer survivors. The program is telephone-based so connections can be made regardless of where someone lives or receives their medical care. The 4th Angel Program is an innovative approach to patient care that was the brainchild of Olympic skating champion, Scott Hamilton, who was successfully treated for testicular cancer at the Cleveland Clinic in 1997. In appreciation for the outstanding care he received, Scott developed a partnership with the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute - the CARES (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship) Initiative in 1999.
