It was, truly, a match made in Heaven. When Paul and Becky, two Northwest Michigan high schoolers, met for the first time at a dance, they knew immediately that they would marry. As young marrieds, they faced hard decisions about money, morals, and faith. They also produced six amazing sons, and always a joyful home to raise them in. But the truest test of Paul and Becky's bond came when Becky was diagnosed with breast cancer. What followed in the weeks, months, and years after is a story sure to inspire - about the bravery and selflessness of a woman, the steadfast support of a man, and the knowledge that love and God's love conquer all. Love your spouse as if today was his or her last day on Earth. One day it will be, and on that day, you'll be at peace. - Paul Wheelock The Leelanau County Cancer Foundation (LCCF) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit with a nine year history of success. Originally LCCF functioned under the name of The Leelanau Cancer Fund working in collaboration with the Munson Regional Healthcare Foundation. In April 2016 the committee members of the LCF chose to establish a new independent organization now known as the Leelanau County Cancer Foundation. The reason for this change was to provide LCCF with more control and accountability regarding the distribution of funds to cancer stricken Leelanau County families regardless of where they were receiving care. (The Munson Foundation would only allow LCF support to families who were being treated at their facilities.) Also, it became clear that there was a growing need to raise more funds to meet the countywide needs. It was felt that the fundraising efforts were losing support because of our affiliation with Munson and their inability to assist Leelanau County cancer patients who were diagnosed and/or treated elsewhere. Being an independent 501(c) 3 provides LCCF the opportunity to expand its fundraising efforts to meet an ever growing need. The Mission of Leelanau County Cancer Foundation To help improve the quality of life for qualified Leelanau County residents and their families who are being impacted by cancer. The goal of LCCF is to provide needed financial support for Leelanau families for an ever growing variety of needs. To accomplish this goal, LCCF will establish new collaborations with local, state and national charitable organizations which have a knowledge, familiarity or connection to Leelanau County. The Foundation will also strive to build new support from Leelanau County businesses; especially for event sponsorship. LCCF is entirely a volunteer driven organization with no paid staff. It is administered by a Board of Directors; all of whom participate in the organization's annual fund efforts. LCCF will use the funds to support families who have a family member diagnosed with cancer. Funds are used to provide support for non-medical expenses such as rent/mortgage payments, transportation (gas cards) and lodging when necessary for treatments. Additionally, funds have been given to families for general living/housing support such as childcare, electricity, and propane. These grants are aimed at helping alleviate the stress and pressure of a family when a family member has been diagnosed with cancer. Needs can be varied; we have assisted families with financial support for all manner of bills - insurance, phone, propane, electric, mortgage/rent, car payments, taxes. Additionally, we have reimbursed families for gas and lodging when traveling for treatment (primarily to Ann Arbor), one gentleman needed work on his truck and new tires. We have purchased a wheelchair and furniture for other individuals. We have assisted fifty-four families since becoming a not-for-profit organization. Our biggest frustration is letting people know that our organization exists.…

When Paul and Becky, two Northwest Michigan high schoolers, met for the first time at a dance, they knew immediately that they would marry. As young marrieds, they faced hard decisions about money, morals, and faith. They also produced six amazing sons, and always a joyful home to raise them in.
But the truest test of Paul and Becky’s bond came when Becky was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. What followed in the weeks, months, and years after is a story sure to inspire — about the bravery and selflessness of a woman, the steadfast support of a man, and the knowledge that love and God’s love conquer all.
