Many cancer patients don’t own a vehicle, can’t afford the extra gasoline, or don’t have access to public transportation. Some patients may be elderly and unable to drive, too ill to drive, or have no family members or friends who are able to provide regular assistance with transportation.

Without access to reliable transportation, cancer patients are often unable to get regular treatment and their chances for survival are greatly diminished.
