Arlene said surviving cancer was just one more reason to be thankful and give back to the community. I would encourage anyone with extra time to volunteer. Anyone who is retired and can donate any amount of time should really consider volunteering for Road to Recovery. The patients are truly appreciative, and their appreciation makes the work all the more meaningful. The Road to Recovery program is designed to assist patients who have no car, may be too ill to drive, or where other local resources are unavailable.
Transportation is provided according to the needs and available resources in the community.
The southeastern Pennsylvania region of the Road to Recovery program operates in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. Volunteers from these counties have been donating their time to help their neighbors battling cancer for twenty years now. 313 drivers made 5,355 rides in 2000. The increased participation over the years is encouraging, but there is always a need for more drivers. An application will be sent to you.
