Cancer is hard enough.
No one should die from the cure.
Too many Hodgkin lymphoma survivors and other cancer survivors are living with serious late effects they were never warned about. Your gift helps Hodgkin’s International provide life-saving information, trusted resources, advocacy, and support to people who may not know what to ask, what to monitor, or where to turn.
For many survivors, cancer treatment did not end when treatment ended.
Years or even decades later, survivors can face life-altering late effects involving the heart, lungs, secondary cancers, mental health, and more. Too many were never properly informed about these risks. Too many are still trying to navigate survivorship alone.
Hodgkin’s International exists to change that.
We help survivors understand the long-term risks they may face, connect them with trusted information and survivorship resources, and empower them to advocate for the care and screenings they need.
Hodgkin’s International is at a critical growth point.
For years, much of this work was carried forward through the extraordinary dedication of our Executive Director, Erin Cummings, who gave her heart, vision, and countless volunteer hours to this mission.
After Erin’s passing, we are not stepping back.
We are stepping forward.
To continue and expand the vision she built, Hodgkin’s International must grow from a small, largely volunteer-driven organization into a stronger and more sustainable nonprofit with the staff and infrastructure needed to reach more people.
Your donation will help us:
- expand our reach to uninformed survivors in the U.S. and around the world
- educate survivors about late effects and survivorship care
- help inform medical providers who may not fully understand late effects
- grow our educational programs and outreach
- strengthen our resources so more people can find life-saving information sooner
- build the organizational capacity needed to hire a full-time Executive Director and staff
- carry Erin’s vision forward so this work can grow, endure, and save more lives
Your gift helps ensure that the vision Erin built will continue to grow and reach far more people in the years ahead.
Survivors cannot act on risks they do not know about.
They cannot ask for screenings they were never told they need. They cannot advocate for symptoms they do not realize may be connected to past treatment. They cannot protect their future with information they never received.
We have also lost several members of our survivorship community to late effects. These were our true heroes, courageous, determined, beautiful souls. They were part of the very foundation of our organization, and they are part of the reason we will continue fighting for all survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma.
That is why this work is urgent.
And that is why your support matters now.
Your gift funds life-saving information.
