About the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation

The goal of Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation is to grant wishes to people who have been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.

The human toll of this terrible disease is truly staggering. In America alone, every 2 1/2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and every 12 minutes a woman dies from the disease. Breast cancer can afflict men as well as women, and the young as well as the old. Every year thousands of young children lose a parent to breast cancer; the disease is the number one cancer killer of women between the ages of 15 and 54.

The tragedy of this illness, as with any terminal disease, is not limited to the physical and emotional impact. In many cases an enormous financial strain is placed on the family. When the insurance is exhausted and the hospitals are paid there is often no money left for extras. This means that many families cannot afford special moments together that might lift spirits and ease the turmoil of “saying goodbye.”

It is our intention to “make a difference” in the lives of those suffering from this devastating disease. Our wish-granting service helps put the realities of this terminal illness aside, if just for a few days, while providing the opportunity for a family to spend quality time together. Our hope is that every metastatic breast cancer patient will be able to pass from this world comforted with the joy of having left his or her family a final beautiful memory—something the family will look back on and remember for a lifetime.

Our wish granting services are made possible by corporate donations and partnerships, and by fundraising programs such as Brides Against Breast Cancer, Quilters Against Breast Cancer and the Pink Envelope Project. The programs, volunteer opportunities, and links of this website provide a great number of ways for you to make a difference in the lives of those diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. Use our search box or site directory to find the specific program you need, or explore the site to find all the ways you can get involved. We are sincerely grateful for all your generous giving!

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with breast cancer, we sympathize and offer our support. We invite you to read about other families who have had their wishes granted or request a wish of your own. We truly hope that we can make a difference in your life.
