About Us

Give Me A Break From Cancer, a program of the Zaching Against Cancer Foundation, supports the overlooked population of young people between the ages of 18 and 39 who live with cancer. By planning trips, events, and activities, GMABFC offers these young adults and their caregivers the chance to take a break and get away from it all—the opportunity to forget about “all that cancer stuff” for a while.
