The American Cancer Society is currently recruiting volunteers to help cancer patients when they need it most. Road to Recovery is a volunteer-based driving program that provides transportation to and from medical centers for cancer patients undergoing treatment. Today, as people are forced to deal with the burden of cancer treatment, the need for transportation assistance has grown and the American Cancer Society has established Road to Recovery to help eliminate these burdens. Approximately 10-20 percent of patients either cancel or postpone cancer treatment simply because they have no means of transportation. Volunteer drivers with reliable means of transportation are needed in Boone, Hamilton, Hendricks, Marion and Morgan counties. Road to Recovery volunteers are able to select the region or area in which they choose to volunteer, and can donate anywhere from a few hours to a few days of driving time each month. Businesses and organizations are also encouraged to participate as a group. The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service. To learn more about Road to Recovery or to volunteer for this program, call your American Cancer Society at 800.ACS.2345.
