“We are very excited that the Endeavour consulting team will work with us to strengthen our organization by building a more strategic model for our board, allowing us to advance our mandate of supporting the young adult cancer patient.  With their vision, we will be able to attract the right board members to expand Alli’s Journey nationally.” - Pam Shainhouse, President of Alli’s Journey

Organization

Alli’s Journey is a non-profit, charitable organization that was created in 2006 by a young woman named Alli Shapiro Amar who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 19. While enduring 7 years of treatment, Alli and her mother, Pam Shainhouse, noticed the lack of resources for young adults with cancer and were determined to do something about it. Alli’s Journey is determined to raise money for the young adult cancer population, ages 18-35. The organization supports young people who are battling the disease by supporting research specific to the cancers that target this population. It also supports various community resources that provide critical care, counseling and assistance to young adults who are fighting the disease. One of Alli’s Journey’s current projects is Alli’s Comfort Bags (www.allisgifttoyou.com) for young adult cancer patients beginning their treatment. These comfort bags will include a variety of items meant to amuse, support, educate and comfort the young adult cancer patient. Volunteers are currently working on securing donations for the bags and filling them with various items, such as toiletries, books, etc. Learn more at www.allisjourney.ca
