The American Cancer Society is inviting North Central residents to give someone the ride of their life by becoming a driver for its Road to Recovery program. This unique program is designed to provide transportation for area cancer patients to and from their medical appointments or cancer treatments.

    Because of the increasing number of requests for rides from area cancer patients, the American Cancer Society currently is seeking additional volunteer drivers for the program. Road to Recovery volunteer drivers offer both their time and vehicles to the cancer patients, many of whom have no other means of getting to their lifesaving treatments and appointments. Every cancer patient has unique needs and many require daily or weekly treatments over the course of several months. The American Cancer Society considers its volunteer drivers to be essential members of each patient’s medical team.
