Ep 01 - Triumph and Support: Inside the Fight Against Cancer with Angelic Mercer

The Angry Biller

When Angelic Mercer joined us, she brought not just her expertise from the American Cancer Society but also a heart-wrenching yet inspiring story of triumph over cancer. Her voice carries the weight of both personal battle scars and a deep-seated dedication to support others facing similar struggles. In our conversation, Angelic pulls back the curtain on the everyday heroes who tirelessly fund cancer research and the invaluable support services provided to those in the throes of this relentless disease. We uncover the inner workings of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and get introduced to the innovative Reach to Recovery program, where an app serves as a beacon of hope, linking patients with survivors for companionship and support.
As we navigate the complexities of rallying support for the noble cause, Angelic and I delve into the particular challenges that nonprofits encounter in drawing funds and volunteers - a struggle thrown into stark relief by the pandemic's impact on the Road to Recovery program. With a shortage of volunteers leading to over 10,000 unmet requests for rides to treatment, the reality of what is at stake becomes crystal clear. Angelic explains how flexible volunteering can significantly enhance patient survival rates and emphasizes the irreplaceable role of community and corporate backing. Join us for an episode filled with raw emotion and vital information, highlighting how every contribution, no matter the size, has the power to alter the course of a cancer patient's journey.
