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.
