Meet Danielle, a registered dietitian at @UCD_Cancer and a dedicated #PanCANVolunteer. For years, she has used PanCANโs resources to support pancreatic cancer patients at work, so when the opportunity to volunteer arose, she didnโt hesitate to get involved.
"I talk to pancreatic cancer patients and their families all the time, so survivor outreach fits well with my role as a dietitian," Danielle shares. She plays a crucial role in connecting survivors, ensuring no one feels alone in their journey. "There was one young man, newly diagnosed, with no close friends or family here. I introduced him to two survivors at PurpleStride, and they talked the entire time. That was so great."
Her passion doesnโt stop there โ Danielle has also rallied her care team to support PurpleStride Sacramento. "We had good old-fashioned bake sales. We sold roses with lollipops for Valentine's Day. By event day, UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center raised just over $5,000 for the first time ever!"
When asked if other healthcare professionals should volunteer, she says: "Absolutely, especially if you love connecting with others. It makes your heart full to be a part of something outside of the usual treatment spaces."
