Our Founder
Nancy Santos, who died in 2018 at age 35, founded the Laredo Cancer Society in 2015 to help support and provide assistance to cancer patients. It began as an emotional support group and later grew into the nonprofit, which raised money to help pay for cancer patients' gas, rent and utilities when the hospital bills stacked up.
"Cancer made me become the person that I was meant to be,"
Santos had previously said.

02 Remember
Cherish the memories of all your great moments, of those who have passed, of those that are still with us.
03 Fight Back
Fight back the disease with all your might and with all the strength that others are giving you.
