Dear Miles of Hope Family,

As we approach the holiday season at the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation, we realize that we have so much to be thankful for.

In six years, after raising over $2.5 million dollars, we have awarded over $1,000,000 in grants. We thought you might like to know where some of the money went.

Over 50 scholarships have been given to high school seniors whose lives have been affected by breast cancer.

Six social service agencies help us to administer the Medical Gap Care Fund in eight counties. This fund was created to provide funding for families who are either under-insured or have a financial emergency while in treatment. To date we have helped thousands of people by granting over $700,000.

We are currently partnering with Vassar Brothers Medical Center, St. Francis Hospital, St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital, Benedictine Hospital and others to provide important complementary medicine programs for people in treatment for breast cancer.

A Peer-to-Peer program counsels the recently diagnosed who need a voice, an encouraging word or non-medical advice, from trained breast cancer survivors, thanks to Miles of Hope.

None of these programs would be possible without your continued support and generosity. To that end, we would welcome your holiday gift. If you want to fund a particular program please note this with your donation.

Thank you for helping us to help as many people as possible. You can make your donation either online at MilesofHope.org or by check to:
