Where No One Rises Alone
My name is Scott Baker, and I have survived four battles with cancer over the past 20 years. While in isolation receiving my 2nd Auto Stem Cell Transplant, I woke up one day with a complete vision of a place where cancer survivors could go for support in achieving the best in mind, body, and spirit throughout their cancer experience from diagnosis through treatment and far beyond as they manage life after a cancer diagnosis. I found such a place in Latham, NY called the American Cancer Society Hope Club. I created the Community Hope House so that I can raise funds for the Hope Club with the goal of providing full-time dedicated staff to manage and facilitate the programs and services, and ultimately providing a place where no one has to face cancer alone, where instead they will find a supportive environment surrounded by other people who completely understand them.
