Since 2010, the Western Mass Mother’s Day Half Marathon has raised $517,886.81 for Cancer Connection.

Founded in 2000, Cancer Connection, Inc. is a nonprofit community cancer support center serving individuals and families in Western Massachusetts, Cancer Connection provides a haven where people with cancer and their loved ones can learn how to navigate the complicated cancer journey through education, peer support, integrative therapies, and creative programs to strengthen body and spirit.

We offer all our support groups, integrative therapies, classes, and programs free of charge in a non-clinical environment. It is the only cancer support center in Hampshire and Franklin Counties and draws additional participants from Hampden County.

We invite people to call us at their convenience to talk to staff or a trained “befriending” volunteer for help sorting out priorities, medical questions, family, work, or legal issues. Learn more at https://cancer-connection.org/.
