Caring For A Cure

Founded by the oncology nurses of MGH with a mission to improve the journey of patients and families with cancer through research, resources, and awareness

For Patients. For Families. For Research. For a Cure. For Patients - At the core of our mission is our patients. We continuously seek opportunities both small and large to make their journey easier and uplift their spirits. For Families - Families support our patients and are incredibly important to us. Recognizing that this is a journey for patients and those who walk beside them, we aim to suppo

rt and recognize their integral role. For Research - Research leads to innovations that help our patients recover faster and moves us toward a cure. We are incredibly lucky to be based at Massachusetts General Hospital, surrounded by an incredible research team both here and across the river. For a Cure - We'd love it if we could play even a small part in curing this disease.

Four Runners. One Incredible Impact 💙

On Sunday, August 16th, Team CFAC took on the 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race - with incredible success!

Every mile, every donation and every person who supported them helped make this incredible impact possible.

What You've Made Possible 💙
A few moments of support from this past week.

💙 A birthday gift helped a hospitalized patient make sure his wife still felt celebrated on her special day.

💙 Meal assistance helped a patient’s mom and sister stay close and supported while they traveled to Boston to be with her during treatment.

💙 Transportation funds helped a patient reconnect with family he hadn’t been able to see during treatment because of the cost of getting there.

💙 Grocery assistance helped a father of two facing financial hardship put food on the table while undergoing cancer treatment.

These are more than acts of kindness.

They bring comfort, lift spirits, and remind patients and families that they are cared for.

Thank you to our colleagues for these thoughtful requests, and to our donors for making these moments possible. 💙

Thoughtful Thursday- a little comfort to carry with you 💟

Sometimes the smallest gestures can bring a little comfort when it's needed most. These pocket hugs were requested by one of our oncology social workers to have on hand for patients who could use a little brightness in the middle of a hard day.

We're always grateful for the opportunity to support our care teams in the thoughtful ways they care for their patients. 💙
