Head and neck cancer accounts for about 4% of all cancers in the United States and, this year, nearly 65,000 people will be diagnosed with it (Cancer.net). HNC Living Foundation’s primary mission is to provide financial assistance to improve the quality of treatment, recovery, and living for head and neck cancer patients.

Since 2015, we have awarded over $550,000 in grants to benefit head and neck cancer patients. We’ve provided funding to support programs that provide dental services, nutritional supplements, prescription assistance, transportation support, and specialized therapies.

Journaling (or keeping letters and diaries) dates back to the 10th century. Pen on paper can serve as a powerful life tool. There is increasing evidence to support that journaling has a positive impact on physical well-being; helping to reduce stress, manage anxiety and providing a safe space for releasing thoughts and feelings. Many with cancer or other chronic diseases use journaling as a powerful aid in their healing.
