Faith Fighting Cancer was named in honor of Faith Walston, a tireless volunteer dedicated to serving Montgomery County cancer patients and their families. Through the joint efforts of volunteers and contributors, Faith’s legacy continues.
To quote our previous president, Barbara Hilton, “We’ve seen children in a two-income family go from playing in the backyard to becoming a pediatric cancer patient of a one-income family, because one parent has to remain at the hospital with the sick child. We’ve also seen those who can’t afford to go to the doctor or receive preventative care. We see people who refuse help because they believe others need assistance more. We strive to make life better for residents in our own county.”
“The experience of helping others in need is both rewarding and humbling”, said FAITH’s Treasurer Mary Beth Oglesby. “It is also a responsibility we wholeheartedly embrace. With so many area businesses and individuals trusting us with their money, we ensure that every contribution makes the greatest gift to our community

Among our board are members who have dealt with cancer themselves or with close family members and friends. We understand the effect cancer has on not only the diagnosed individual, but the entire family as well and that financial assistance is not always readily available.
