North Bay Cancer Alliance (NBCA) announces Ascent on Cancer, the first in a series of extreme hikes undertaken with two goals in mind. The first goal is to raise critical funds for North Bay cancer patients and their families who are living on the margin of health and income. The second is to provide donors the opportunity to submit the names of Cancer Heroes in their lives who will be taken symbolically up the mountain.

“Cancer can be a herculean disease to manage and afford. This particular hike will be very challenging physically, yet it’s nothing compared to the daily struggles of a family confronted with cancer,” stated NBCA Executive Director Kent Corley. “The mountain represents the cancer experience. We want to get to the top, and we want to put all those Cancer Heroes on our backs and take them up with us and honor their fight, their survival, their memory.” Visit the link in our bio to learn more.

North Bay Cancer Alliance is the only cancer-focus

North Bay Cancer Alliance is the only cancer-focused nonprofit providing patient assistance to cancer patients at every hospital and oncology center in Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake and Mendocino counties.

The inspiration for Ascent on Cancer comes from a

The inspiration for Ascent on Cancer comes from a longstanding desire on the part of Kent Corley and his wife Eileen to attempt the Skyline Trail hike, ranked as one of the five most challenging day hikes in the country. The hike up Mt. San Jacinto in Palm Springs, the steepest escarpment in the continental United States, entails almost 11,000 feet of elevation gain. Towering over Palm Springs, the mountain is home to the world-renowned Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, whose course roughly parallels the trail and will be used to return the hikers back to the desert floor.
The Corleys will put together a small team to make and film the ascent, calendared for a window during October or November 2021, depending on the weather.
All money raised will go directly to helping cancer patients and their families. Individuals who wish to support cancer patients can either click the link in our bio and make a tax-deductible donation, or they can go to the Ascent on Cancer GoFundMe page https://gofund.me/d7e83904 to make a tax-deductible donation. All donors who make a donation, regardless of size, can sponsor the name of their own Cancer Hero to be carried symbolically up the mountain as a Thank You for their donation.

The challenges facing cancer patients are many, but often unseen. Ascent on Cancer will be honoring Cancer Heroes by making their bravery visible during an 11,000 foot ascent of Mt. San Jacinto, the steepest escarpment in the continental United States. As we climb the mountain we will be stopping to read out the names of your Cancer Heroes in order to acknowledge the invisible challenges they have faced.

Ascent on Cancer is a fundraiser for North Bay Cancer Alliance (NBCA) in Northern California. NBCA has been providing meaningful resources to cancer patients for sixteen years by sponsoring innovative support groups and providing immediate financial assistance to those in need. This year we see an increasing number of cancer patients and their families struggling to afford basic expenses.

Good Nutrition is Important for Cancer Patients

Good Nutrition is Important for Cancer Patients

Nutrition is a process in which food is taken in and used by the body for growth, to keep the body healthy, and to replace tissue. Good nutrition is important for good health. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during, and after cancer treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger. A healthy diet includes eating and drinking enough of the foods and liquids that have the important nutrients (vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water) the body needs.

When the body does not get or cannot absorb the nutrients needed for health, it causes a condition called malnutrition or malnourishment. This summary is about nutrition in adults with cancer.
