Introducing FREE "Virtual Experiences" for AYA CANCER patients

Being a cancer patient is stressful enough - imagine being in treatment, immunocompromised, and isolated ... all during a global pandemic? 

All experiences are on demand, free, join alone or with a friend!

Are you an AYA (age 18-39) cancer patient who could benefit from a virtual experience and a way to connect with your family and friends?  Contact us and we'll set you up!

"Instead of being stressed out by my new job, I was stressed out by my new diagnosis. Instead of dating, I had a once a month one night stand with Rituxan. My friends were supportive and sweet, but I was forced to watch them move forward and I felt stuck in an infinite time freeze that I never thought I’d be in."
