CancerCare's Healing Hearts Program Coordinator, Claire Grainger-Valvano, LCSW, has written the recently published book "My Daddy Sits Upon a Star." Claire was first inspired to write the story after forming a lasting bond with her neighbor, Joey. At six years old, Joey experienced the loss of his father to pancreatic cancer. 

Thanks to AVONCares, a partnership between CancerCare and the Avon Foundation for Women, financial assistance and support services have been made available to underserved women facing breast cancer in all 50 states.

From Kathleen, a recent AVONCares grant recipient: "I never dreamed I would be in this position of being diagnosed with cancer and asking for help, because I was always the one giving to others. God bless you and your organization for your kindness."

Support for this program is made possible by funds raised through the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Series.
