Connecticut Action Center

Everyday in Connecticut there are people battling cancer, and sometimes the biggest challenge in cancer treatment is getting there.  A committed group of volunteer drivers provide many of these rides through the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery^SM program.  Currently, requests for transportation assistance outnumber the available drivers, leaving many without the rides they need.  The Society is currently seeking volunteers from ­­­Middlesex, New Haven and New London counties to drive cancer patients to their treatment appointments.  If you have a car, a safe driving record, and even one or two hours once a month, you can make a real difference in someone's life by becoming a driver.   The program is flexible and matches drivers' availability with the patients’ transportation needs.  If you or someone you know would like to become a volunteer driver or would like more information, please call us at 1-800-227-2345 or visit us online at www.cancer.org/ctrides.
