Road To Recovery?
The P站视频 Road To Recovery program provides free rides to treatment for cancer patients.
Transportation barriers are the #1 reason for missed cancer appointments.
For people with cancer who have no way of getting to treatment, our Road To Recovery? program is there to help. Driving patients to lifesaving treatment is one of the most meaningful volunteer experiences you can have with the P站视频.
We need volunteers so we can help more cancer patients. Unfortunately, we can’t provide rides to everyone who asks us to help them. You can change that.?
If you are facing cancer and need rides to treatment, call 1-800-227-2345 to find out if there are Road To Recovery drivers available in your area.
I’m beyond grateful to each and every volunteer who helped me get to my treatment appointments.
Volunteer to drive cancer patients
Being a volunteer driver means you volunteer your time to drive people with cancer to treatment using your personal car.? If you have a driver’s license, proof of insurance, pass a background check, and are between 18 and 84 years old, you’re already on the road to volunteering! We’ll provide all the training you need to help patients in your community get to treatment.
