Description

At A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation (ABOH), based in Wayzata, Minnesota, our mission is to defeat lung cancer by funding groundbreaking research, awareness initiatives, education, and patient support. We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Mayo Clinic to extend our vital patient services to the Rochester,Minnesota area, bringing compassionate support to lung cancer patients and families in need.


We invite individuals who have personally experienced a cancer diagnosis to become ABOH Peer-to-Peer Companions. If you’ve navigated the challenges of cancer and want to help others facing a similar journey, this role is for you. As a Peer-to-Peer Companion, you will provide invaluable emotional support to patients and caregivers through texts, phone calls, and both virtual and in-person meetings.


What You'll Do:
- Offer a listening ear and empathetic support to patients and caregivers.
- Share hope and understanding, drawing from your own experience with cancer.
- Help ease the emotional and psychological burdens of a lung cancer diagnosis.
- Provide comfort and encouragement during this challenging time.


Lung cancer can be a physically, mentally, and emotionally draining experience, compounded by the stigma often associated with the disease. Our Peer-to-Peer Companions play a crucial role in alleviating some of these burdens, offering compassion and reassurance to those who need it most. By connecting with someone who understands their struggles, patients can find solace and strength to face their journey with greater hope.


Your involvement directly supports our mission to improve lung cancer patient quality of life and advance our fight against lung cancer. Together, we can make a significant impact and move closer to a future free from this devastating disease. If you’re interested in becoming an ABOH Peer-to-Peer Companion and making a meaningful difference in the lives of lung cancer patients, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and join us in bringing hope and support to those who need it most. Together, we are making strides in the fight against lung cancer
