October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor those who have faced breast cancer, recognize the strength of caregivers and loved ones 🩷

For our Cancer Active family, this month holds a particularly personal meaning.

Our Executive Director, Kenny Capps, and Assistant Director, Cindy Capps, know firsthand what it means to navigate cancer from both sides of the journey as caregiver and survivor.

Cindy Harris-Wilkerson Capps had been a caregiver for years and Kenny Capps is an ongoing survivor of . In 2025, their roles reversed.

Their experiences are deeply connected to why Cancer Active exists. Life doesn't stop when cancer enters the picture. The challenges extend beyond diagnosis and treatment, affecting physical health, emotional well-being, relationships and everyday life - for both patients and caregivers. Having the right support, resources and community can make a meaningful difference.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor everyone navigating this journey, including the caregivers who walk alongside them 🩷
