Help Morgan raise money

Ellie Fund is a registered 501(c)(3), focused on building healthy communities by providing essential support services - free of charge - to breast cancer patients while they are undergoing treatment. Ellie Fund services - including grocery assistance, prepared & delivered meals, transportation to appointments, childcare, housekeeping, integrative therapies, and other personalized services - are designed to relieve a patient’s financial and emotional burdens during costly and debilitating treatment, to promote treatment adherence and a chance at the best possible health outcome. Uniquely, Ellie Fund partners with our patients on a monthly basis - for up to six months - helping them cope in the face of scary unknowns, and budget amid increased bills and reduced income. By meeting a patient’s daily non-medical needs, Ellie Fund achieves our mission to alleviate stress during breast cancer treatment, allowing patients to focus on what matters most: family, healing, and getting back on their feet. Nearly 60% of patients report household incomes below $50,000, and 38% earn less than $25,000 annually, even before they experience the financial toxicity of breast cancer. Ellie Fund has served 30% more breast cancer patients from year to year since 2021, to meet rapidly growing needs in the aftermath of delayed mammograms caused by the pandemic. In 2024, Ellie Fund aims to reach 2,000 patients - almost one-third of the nearly 7,000 of the annually diagnosed breast cancer patients in Massachusetts. 100% of all Team Ellie fundraising from the Falmouth Road Race will go toward patients’ services. Your generosity is appreciated so very much!
