High Schools
Know the facts. Understand the risks. Make changes. Get and give support.
By providing students with knowledge and educating them on risk factors associated with cancer, we empower them to be proactive in adopting cancer-prevention strategies within their daily lives. Increased knowledge leads to real change through in-depth risk assessment, increased skill sets to support family or friends impacted by cancer, and healthy lifestyle habits.
The C through Cancer program was an eye opener for many of my students. Seeing peers and older individuals in need has sparked a desire to reach out to Gilda’s Club (now Cancer Pathways Midwest) to see how “we” could help. A core group was formed to investigate ways to support the members plus a larger group is now making cards for anyone that needs to have their day brightened. We would not have reached out had it not been for the well put together C through Cancer Program. We can’t wait to see where this collaboration will take us!
