The support group was sponsored with the YWCA along with Midwestern Regional Medical Center and Cancer Treatment Center of America in Zion. Our Purpose | The purpose of the Striving & Surviving Support Foundation is to provide encouragement, emotional and physical support for patients and their families and to make life more manageable for cancer patients and their families while undergoing treatment, by providing various services; also to provide continuous support and to educate the public, in order to increase public awareness through early detection for both men and women; in addition, to raise funds to promote education, financial support and various services for families.
