Tom’s first stay at Hope Lodge lasted 100 days. During a challenging chapter of his cancer journey, Hope Lodge provided more than a place to stay—it offered comfort, connection and support when it mattered most. Since then, Tom has returned several times, a testament to the lasting impact of this community.
As we ROCK OUT CANCER at the Champions of Hope Gala on November 13, Tom and Ellie will share their story and remind us why this mission matters so deeply.
All funds raising during our paddle raise will be directed to the Hope Lodge locations in Rochester, MN and Minneapolis, MN.
The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are the only organization improving the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
