Dayna has always had a passion for helping others and realized her calling when her Grandmother and Mother were diagnosed with Cancer. Dayna’s grandmother always instilled in her to help others no matter what the case may be. Her calling became even more apparent as she witnessed the experience and the difficulties her mom had to endure during and after Chemo-Therapy. Dayna quickly realized that there were certain needs of Cancer Patients that were too often overlooked. As she experienced this process with her mother, she was inspired to start the Foundation. She had to figure out an easier route and try to help people avoid the unnecessary complications she had witnessed firsthand. She started researching, networking and confiding in friends. Her determination and passion is an inspiration to others.
