The Chad Hancock Cancer Foundation is supporting Canteen by providing funding for them to put on revolving recreation days for cancer sufferers over the age of 18. 

The goals of this program include:

• Developing a flexible program meeting the age appropriate needs of the members
• Create an opportunity for Members to establish peer support networks with other members of similar ages.
• All young people living with cancer to have access to quality respite and recreation opportunities.
• Provide support in managing the practicalities of daily living.
• Improved awareness of the potential spiritual/existential issues relating to the your person's cancer experience.
• Broaden social awareness.
• Increase awareness of age appropriate issues.
• Help gain an understanding about moving on from CanTeen.
• To celebrate and have fun.

The next lot of recreation days will be held in November and we plan to continue supporting CanTeen in their efforts to help young adults deal with cancer.
