I heard about the 'Road to Recovery' and it seemed like a perfect fit. Cancer is hard enough without the added stress of having to fight traffic when you are feeling bad. It is my way of easing the burden on these individuals. I hope to inspire others to become volunteer drivers to ensure everyone requesting the service is accommodated. The American Cancer Society is also hoping Bob's story will result in additional drivers.
Volunteers usually drive once or twice a month.
We also hope to spread the word to cancer patients who may be unaware of the 'Road to Recovery' program. Over the years, Bob Anderson has made many friends while driving cancer patients. Currently, he drives Yulanda King three days a week to her treatments at Highline Hospital. Yulanda, who has a 7 year old son and a 7 month old son, is thankful for the help. Yulanda's husband, Eddie is laid-off as a sealer from Boeing.
