Cancer Hope Network is a not-for-profit organization that provides free and confidential one-on-one support to cancer patients and their families. We provide that support by matching cancer patients and/or family members with trained volunteers who have themselves undergone and recovered from a similar cancer experience.Through this matching process, we strive to provide support and hope, to help patients and family members look beyond the diagnosis, cope with treatment, and start living life to its fullest once again. In short, we strive to make a difference in their fight against cancer.

Co-founded by Linda Reinstein, activist, fighting for a total, worldwide ban of asbestos, wife of malignant mesothelioma patient Alan Reinstein (1939-2006)

Founded by TC McNamara, activist, fighting for a total, worldwide ban of asbestos, wife of malignant mesothelioma patient John McNamara (1946-2007)

“John was the most amazing human being, he had the ability to show true compassion, he had a heart bigger than his smile, and the ability to make friends and touch souls, John offered hope in unlimited supply. It was John’s goal to create something that would unite the Mesothelioma support groups and communities, to offer hope, and the latest medical information that we may find, and to show what was going on in the Mesothelioma world. With that being said we, decided to take the next step, to offer help to patients and their families in as many ways that we could, to work on our “pet” projects to make things a little easier for the mesothelioma community and to extend ourselves in as many areas that we could, to continue John’s dream to make a difference and to achieve my goal of making the world remember my boy, our hero. My family and I will always be the voice of mesothelioma and its victims.” TC McNamara
