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 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 the
Foundation 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, battled ovarian
cancer for 14 years. She traveled a difficult journey of
hope and disappointment, undergoing several cycles of
intense chemotherapy and related treatments. Nancy died in
May 2009.
Nancy remained optimistic every day: "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!"
