ABOUT ALONGSIDE
A place to find support when you need it most.
Alongside is an informational platform created for parents and guardians facing the difficult experience of childhood cancer. Our goal is to make reliable support resources easier to find and help families feel less alone.
WHY ALONGSIDE
Because finding support shouldn't feel like another challenge.
A childhood cancer diagnosis can bring many challenges at once. Families may have to navigate unfamiliar information, unexpected financial difficulties, emotional stress, and difficult decisions.
Finding trustworthy resources can be overwhelming, especially during an already difficult time.
Alongside was created to bring important support information together in one place, so families can spend less time searching and more time focusing on what matters most.
