CANCER SUPPORT FOUNDATION, INC.
Lifeline to Recovery
Cindy Carter - President
Cindy Carter is the President and a Co-founder of the Cancer Support
Foundation, Inc. (CSFI). She understands the needs of cancer survivors and
their families from firsthand experience. In the years from 1979 to 1997, she was a
four-time caregiver of family members with cancer; several of them in hospice
situations. In 2003, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through
radiation treatment. She continues to take medication and pursues a healthy
lifestyle to prevent her cancer from returning.
Cindy’s experiences helped her realize that many people in treatment lack
adequate support systems or access to basic quality-of-life services. Her desire to
raise money for survivors and caregivers, regardless of the type of cancer they
face, led her to become a co-founder of this organization. Fundraising began with
garage sales, and progressed to larger events, corporate sponsorships, speaking
engagements, and other efforts to gain public awareness and receive donations
to meet the critical needs of her clients. Cindy is now working in the local
community to expand the number of sponsors and volunteers supporting CSFI, so
that help will be there for those who call on her when they need somewhere to
turn.
Prior to her leadership of CSFI, Cindy, who is a professional accountant, owned
her own business installing accounting software. She and her husband live in
Ellicott City, MD.
Nancy Frederick – Former President
Nancy Frederick, who co-founded CSFI, has battled ovarian cancer for 13 years.
She has traveled a difficult journey of hope and disappointment, undergoing
several cycles of intense chemotherapy and related treatments. There will be no
remission for Nancy’s cancer. She will continue to fight the disease until a cure is
found. Nancy is now serving on the Foundation’s advisory board.
Nancy remains optimistic. She states, “Family, friends, and support organizations
all matter. That is why I am so passionate about the work we’re doing at the
Cancer Support Foundation, Inc. We are making a huge difference in cancer
survivors’ quality of life and there is so much more we want to do!”
