| “The mission of the Foundation will be to provide financial assistance and comfort to breast cancer patients and their families. It is our hope that some of the hardships they are experiencing will be lessened.” |
On August 25, 2004 Christina Walsh, 32 year old wife and mother, lost her battle with breast cancer. Throughout her 2 ½
year fight she recognized the affect her disease had on her family and friends, both emotionally and financially. In her final
weeks, Christina became focused and determined to find a means of assisting and providing relief to other breast cancer
patients and their families. This Foundation has been established in Christina’s memory for the purpose of carrying out her
wishes.
Proceeds from the Christina S. Walsh Breast Cancer Foundation are directed towards furnishing financial assistance for breast
cancer patients via the Christina S. Walsh Breast Cancer Oncology Fund at University Medical Center Princeton, The Patient
Relief Fund at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the Breast Cancer Resource Center located at the Princeton YWCA, and the
Christina S. Walsh Breast Cancer Foundation Patient Support Fund.
These programs support treatments for uninsured patients, medications and tests not covered by insurance, wigs,
transportation to and from treatments, specially-designed camisoles for mastectomy patients, and other financial burdens
experienced by breast cancer patients. Additionally, the Christina S. Walsh Breast Cancer Foundation assists the families of
these patients who may require meals, hotel accommodations, hospital parking, and other financial difficulties while caring for
a loved one.
It is the mission of the Christina S. Walsh Breast Cancer Foundation to provide financial assistance to breast cancer patients
and their families thus easing the hardships they are experiencing.
The Christina S. Walsh Breast Cancer Foundation is a not-for-profit 501C (3) organization.
