“At just 21, I felt caught between pediatric and adult cancer support services. Sharsheret stepped in from day one, connecting me with a peer supporter and support specialist who became a lifeline throughout treatment. Knowing I always had someone to call made all the difference.”

Molly Reback

“I was a healthy marathon runner when I was unexpectedly diagnosed with breast cancer at 40. With Sharsheret’s support, I navigated treatment and survivorship with confidence. Nearly seven years cancer-free, I’m still running forward.”

Miriam

“I am grateful that AEPhi introduced me to Sharsheret long before I knew I would need its services. Years later, as a survivor, volunteer, and recipient of support, Sharsheret remains an important part of my life. It has been a source of information, connection, and hope every step of the way.”

Marissa Kaufman, AEPhi Alumna
