Big River Walk & Paddle Event
Join us by gathering pledges and participating in the inspiring and community supported BRW & Paddle Event coming up on Saturday, June 2nd at Big River State Park.
In March 2001, Grant was sixteen months old (and I was seven months pregnant with Sean). Grant had been wheezing, so we thought he had asthma. A chest x-ray suggested a much scarier diagnosis. Follow up scans at UCSF revealed neuroblastoma pushing on Grant's windpipe, wrapped around his spinal cord and inside his left ribcage pushing his lung forward to the point where no air could be heard from that side. After a year of chemo therapy and several surgeries, Grant got his first clean scan. Ten years later to the month, as serendipity would have it, NPR picked up the StoryCorps interview Grant and I did, and shared it on Morning Edition. Several years ago, as a way to show my profound gratitude to those who support and treat people with cancer, I became a CRCMC Board Member. Thanks to the wonderful work of the CRCMC, no one in Mendocino County has to face cancer alone.

Dealing with cancer can leave you clammy cold with dread at one moment and filled with hope the next. Sometimes you may want to hide your head in the sand and let the world go by. You may obsess on the Internet searching for all the answers you can find, or hole up, read mysteries and eat chocolate.You may feel sad confused, or overwhelmed. You may want lots of company or for people to leave you alone. At times you may want to take charge of your own health care and at other times wish someone would make decisions for you. If you have felt some of these things, you are not alone. All this and much more can be part of the roller coaster a person with cancer may experience.
You are not alone. Each year, in Mendocino County, 450-500 people are diagnosed with cancer. Most people have a family member, friend, or acquaintance who has or has had cancer. We are fortunate to have the excellent support services of the Cancer Resource Center of Mendocino County, with offices in Mendocino and Ukiah. The staff and volunteers will answer your questions, give you informational booklets and books, help you plan for appointments, and provide support for you during this difficult time...
