Fill a Tank is Helping Here and Helping Now

Having radiation therapy in Uvalde eliminates the need for cancer patients to travel out of our area for treatments, reducing many burdens on patients and their families. Donors to Kate Marmion Rides to Radiation recognize that some patients in our vast nine-county service region also need a ride to their daily treatments.

Something as simple as a van service eases financial and logistical worries and provides patients' independence at a time when they are most vulnerable. These are cancer patients who may not be able to afford to drive to daily appointments, don't have access to a reliable vehicle, or are fatigued, sick, and often at risk of infection, making public transportation less than ideal.

There are high costs for operating two vans per day, and your gift covers them so patients can get on the road to fighting their cancer.

Our sole mission is to provide door-to-door service to cancer patients to the only Radiation Oncology provider in Uvalde at the Kate Marmion Regional Cancer Center. Since our inception, generous donors have helped over 500 patients access life-saving care. With your help, we will continue our mission!

Your 100% tax-deductible gift will help fund the operating costs of two vans that each average 5,000 miles a month. Operating expenses of fuel, repairs, tires, maintenance, insurance, van drivers' salaries, and administrative costs.

It is the highest priority of the foundation board of directors to be good stewards of your gifts and to ensure that excellent service is provided efficiently and economically.
