Share Your Passenger Seat
By Rick Morton, HR
One of the toughest challenges cancer patients face is getting to and from treatment. Many patients don’t own a vehicle, can’t afford gas, or don’t have access to public transportation. Some may be elderly and unable to drive, too ill to drive, or have no family members or friends who can help with all their transportation needs. Without access to reliable transportation, cancer patients are unable to get regular treatment. And even the best treatment can’t work if a patient can’t get there.
Every driver has what it takes to save lives. The American Cancer Society is urgently seeking volunteer drivers willing to donate their passenger seat to transport
cancer patients to their cancer-related treatment through the Road to Recovery program.
Cancer patients need your help right here in Brevard. Currently, the need for Road to Recovery volunteers is great. Locally,
only about one-third of the requests for transportation are able to be filled.
Please consider helping your neighbor get the life-saving treatment they need.
To volunteer, all you need is a valid driver’s license, a safe and reliable vehicle, and proof of insurance. Drivers must be at least 18 years old and have
a good driving record. The Society conducts background and driving record checks on all drivers and provides free training.
As a Road to Recovery volunteer you are literally giving someone a ride that is helping to save their life.
For more information, please call (800) 227-2345 or visit cancer.org/drive or email Tenna Taylor at Tenna.Taylor@cancer.org.
