Organizations and Businesses Supporting Cancer Thrivers & Survivors

Cancer crashes into lives like the love child of an F5 tornado and category 5 hurricane. It’s relentless, and exhausting, and takes a toll on everyone it touches.

We understand our foundation is unable to meet the needs of every individual impacted by that jackwagon cancer. However, we are so proud of all the business and organization that step up to the challenge.

We will continue to update this resource list as we’re made aware of programs benefitting strong women doing brave things.

Kate Williams, Love Bombs Committee Chair

Kate Williams was 37 years old and her kids were ages eight, five, and nine weeks old when she was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in 2019 while on a family vacation in Disney World during her postpartum season following the birth of her third child, Penny Lane. Her active treatment and surgery continued into the beginning of a global pandemic, which greatly altered her cold-capping experience.

Today Kate juggles
her law practice, parenthood, quarterly trips to Disney, and serving as the chair of the Rural Gone Urban Foundation Love Bombs committee.
