About CAN Cancer
CAN Cancer was founded in 2009 by Corrine & Gil Martinez who came up with the idea for Can Cancer when their son Stu was fighting his cancer. They organized the Central Oregon Haulers and founded Can Cancer, Community Assistance for Neighbors with cancer, to help with the non-medical expenses incurred while fighting cancer.

The expenses of travel to and from treatments, lodging for families supporting those with cancer, food, groceries and utilities can seem unmanageable and some may choose to pay a bill and forego travel for treatments. Every dollar raised goes to help patients and their families.
