About
Every day thousands of cancer patients need a ride to a medical facility for treatment. The American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery free program assists patients and their caregivers with these transportation needs. You can help save a life by volunteering your time as a Road To Recovery Volunteer Driver. Volunteer drivers donate their time and vehicles to take patients to and from treatment appointments. They also provide encouragement and support. Road To Recovery volunteers arrange their own schedules, with some volunteering as little as one afternoon a month and others driving patients as often as twice a week. If you are between the ages of 18-84, have a reliable car, current driver’s license, auto insurance, and some spare time, you can help someone keep a very important appointment. To learn more about becoming a volunteer for Road To Recovery, other Society programs, free patient services or the latest cancer information, call 1-800-227-2345 or visit http://www.cancer.org. All programs are free of charge.
