12th Annual 5K Run/Walk Fundraising Event for Christmas Without Cancer NFP All funds raised will enable Christmas Without Cancer to persist in its mission of supporting Southland families who are fighting the harsh realities of cancer throughout the year. Who is Christmas Without Cancer NFP? A nonprofit organization established in 2003 by Gerri Neylon, a compassionate oncology nurse who observed the hardships her patients faced - physically, emotionally, and financially. Our team provides a variety of support, including Christmas gifts, gift cards for gas, groceries, medications, and financial assistance for mortgage, rent, car payments, school tuition, and household bills. Although our name includes "Christmas," we take pride in offering assistance year-round to qualifying recipients, made possible by the generosity of our wonderful supporters. For more than twenty years, we have been able to help thousands of families in the Southland who are dealing with the difficulties of cancer.
