History of the Foundation

Helen Moss is celebrating her ninth year as a metastatic breast cancer survivor. She is dedicated to helping men, women, and their families cope and survive in their struggle to free themselves of this dreadful disease. She had an inordinately bad reaction to chemotherapy but lived in spite of it. Although she feels that maybe the chemotherapy may have extended her life, she also believes that there must be other ways to alleviate the pain and suffering of cancer patients who go through the traditional treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

From the day that she discovered that she had breast cancer, she knew that she would found this Foundation. The Mission of the Foundation was formulated shortly thereafter because of her experience.

There are currently 650 members in the foundation. Membership is renewed annually.
