About Compass to Care
Compass to C
are was founded in 2010 by Park Ridge, IL resident, Michelle Ernsdorff-May. When Michelle was just 14 months old she was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Her parents struggled to pay for the travel expenses necessary to get her to cancer treatment. She founded Compass to Care, in her parents' honor, to help parents pay for the necessary travel expenses to get their children to cancer treatment.
Compass to Care has helped children with cancer travel over 2.4 million miles to access life-saving cancer treatment. By joining the 5K, you will allow them to help even more.
