JUST A BREAK
Updated 42 days ago
JUST-a-BREAK is a 501c3 non-profit corporation that is completely volunteered staffed and funded exclusively from generous donations by local businesses and individuals to provide local cancer patients just a break... JUST-a-BREAK started as an idea by Greg Thorpe in Ogden, Utah. While caring for his wife Jen (a stage IV colon cancer patient), he realized how difficult the journey was- not only for the patient but also for the caregiver and entire family. He felt the toll it took on them financially and emotionally. His passion and desire to help and serve others led him to the idea to have the local community come together and help give Just a Break from cancer packages to those with advanced stage cancer... We provide JUST-a-BREAK from cancer (from a nice night out, to a couple days "get-a-way") at no charge to patients with advanced stage cancer. With the help of generous local businesses, donors, and volunteers, along with the assistance of local hospitals and cancer centers,..
