For Pete's Sake (FPS): Take A Break From Cancer

Cancer touches us all; FPS unites families through respite and gives them a community to grow with, lean on and learn from forever. You can help us provide respite as part of integrative cancer care. Your donation will impact lives by improving family health outcomes for adult cancer patients, caregivers, and their children. Respite has proven therapeutic benefits affecting family, mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, psychosocial, and financial health. These benefits impact the patient and the entire family unit, including the caregiver and children.

Mission statement: For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting respite experiences. Working with oncology professionals at over 100 hospitals and cancer centers, FPS provides transformative respite experiences to cancer patients (ages 21-55), their caregivers and their children and offers our families emotional support that assists them as their journey with cancer continues. Our respite program helps families recognize it is love, not cancer, that defines them.
