Goal

Together, we will help cancer patients get places


Bleeding-edge clinical trials need patients.

Patients want to access these treatments.

Most trials are 3+ hours away from the patients by car, air, train or tuk-tuk. This can be a BIG barrier.  This is where the JBF steps in to help.


Think of us as cancer travel agents


The JACKIE BANANA FOUNDATION (JBF) provides direct assistance to advanced-stage cancer patients via travel coordination, booking, grants & discounts.


All "Pioneer Fund" donors above US$500 will get JBF swag.  
We've got tri-blends, jumbo totes, vinyl stickers & more!Upon diagnosis or exhaustion of standard-of-care treatment options, many cancer patients need travel assistance to pursue life-saving treatments far from home. In partnership with powerhouse cancer advocacy communities, the JBF will book, coordinate & fund (partially or fully depending on need) travel/lodging for these patients. 



Jackie Host (Jackie Banana) was an expert travel coordinator & deal-hunting machine!  She visited over 40 countries on a shoestring & wants to help other patients like her achieve their treatment goals.  She personally designed the JBF during her cancer fight & needs your help to see it through.


Through a tax-deductible donation to the JACKIE BANANA FOUNDATION, you & Jackie will help cancer patients find “happy” moments with far-away loved ones & access world-leading, life-saving care.
