November Trailblazer and A Dash of Joy

Welcome to the Trailblazer of the month! We are excited to share the great work of Unite for HER , national nonprofit out of the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. Our early stage BC ally Sue Weldon, CEO and Founder, joins hosts Victoria Goldberg and Dar Finkelstein to talk about her cancer story, how the idea of Unite for HER came to be, and how COVID changed the business model and the scope of the organization.

The mission of Unite for HER is to enrich the health and well-being of those diagnosed with breast – for life – by funding and delivering integrative therapies. “Our focus with this launch is to prioritize and provide critical access to integrative therapies to women of color,” said Weldon. “Knowing that the risk of developing metastases is higher for black women than white women, we hope to lean in and become a trusted resource to help resolve the health inequities in the Black and Hispanic communities.”

Cancer Care Packages by Unite for HER

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, it is difficult to know how to help. There is no instruction guide on how to provide support during a challenging time. Developed by Unite for HER's team of medical and wellness professionals, each care package is designed to educate and empower patients at any stage of treatment. Each care box contains a range of self-care items carefully curated by our medical and wellness advisors. These items promote healing and confidence and will help empower HER emotional and physical well-being during treatment and beyond. Each package includes the perfect comfort gifts for chemo patients or that special person going through chemo and radiation.
