Dayna C. – Founder/President

Dayna is a successful business entrepreneur and healthy community advocate.  After persuing her degree in Finance she realized there was a bigger purpose for her to commit to.  Dayna served as a volunteer for several years for various cancer organizations and has always had a passion for helping others. She realized her calling when her Grandmother and Mother were both diagnosed with Cancer. Dayna’s mother (Ann) and 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. She quickly realized that there were certain needs of Cancer Patients that were too often overlooked. As she experienced this process with her mother she decided to take her savvy can do attitude, along with her sincerity to help others, and this inspired her 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.
