Cancer Memorials
"This year, about 569,490 Americans are expected to die of cancer...more than 1,500 people a day, 365 days a year. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease. In the US, cancer accounts for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths. Cancer is non-discriminating: it affects people from all walks of life, from very young children to the elderly. It affects people of every race, gender, creed, nationality, and income level."
This page has been established in honor and memory of loved ones who have died. Visiting these pages keeps the memory of these dear people alive in our hearts, and in some way helps those of us who have never met to get to know one another, and to get to know those who are no longer here with us. We encourage you to meet these people through their pages, photographs, and stories. Each of their lives is precious, not just to their families, but to all of us. Each of them has a life, and a story worth remembering. If you would like to submit your request for a memorial to be added to our web site, please contact us by email at memorials@hikingforacause.com
