Toppling barriers standing between people and the cancer treatments that could save their lives
All the research, all the technology in the world ... is useless if someone can't get to their chemotherapy appointments.  For over 40 years, the American Cancer Society has attacked this problem through its Road to Recovery program by connecting people who need rides with neighbors who volunteer to help out. It's been way short on drivers since the pandemic, though, causing most ride requests to be denied. So last fall, Jeff Molby of Chemoriders set off on a two-year bike tour around the country in search of drivers. He says it'll take a lot of help to pull off, both on the front lines and behind the scenes, and he’ll speak to Rotarians tomorrow night about the project and how Rotary can help.
