American Cancer Society seeking Road to Recovery volunteer drivers
TOLEDO, OH (PRESS RELEASE) - Everyone knows that with a cancer diagnosis comes with many hardships and barriers for a cancer patient.? One of the greatest barriers to a cancer patient is simply getting to and from cancer appointments and treatments; cancer patients often cannot afford to drive to appointments or are physically unable to drive themselves.? That is why the American Cancer Society needs help.
The American Cancer Society?s Road to Recovery program needs volunteers who are willing to give a few hours of their time to provide free transportation for cancer patients to and from their treatments.?? Volunteers only need to have a reliable vehicle, current driver?s license, proof of auto insurance, and attend a free Road to Recovery training. ?Training for this program is simple, easy, and only requires a couple hours of time.? Volunteer drivers make a big difference in a cancer patient?s life by providing them with access to life saving procedures and treatments.
Anyone interested in volunteering to become a driver should attend the next Road to Recovery Training.? The next training is on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 from 5:00 ? 7:00 p.m. at the American Cancer Society Northwest Ohio Regional Office in Perrysburg.? There is no fee to attend, but registration is required. To register, call Andrew Mariani at 1-888-227-6446 ex. 5103.? For information about the program, call Andrew Mariani, Health Initiatives Representative for Lucas County, at 1-888-227-6446 extension 5103 or email to andrew.mariani@cancer.org.
