August 3, 2023

The Laurens County Cancer Association is thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 14th Annual Run Like a Mann 5K and One Mile Fun Run/Walk!

This event is dedicated to honoring the memory of Tim Mann, a dear friend of many who lost his battle with cancer.

A Meaningful Cause

Cancer is a daunting and life-altering diagnosis, not only for the patients but also for their families and loved ones. The Laurens County Cancer Association recognizes the tremendous challenges faced by those battling cancer and aims to ease their burdens through their Fuel Assistance Program and Prescription Reimbursement initiatives.

The Fuel Assistance Program offers financial support to cancer patients, ensuring they can access essential medical treatments and appointments without the added stress of transportation costs. By removing this obstacle, the association allows patients to focus on their health and recovery.

Similarly, the Prescription Reimbursement program aims to alleviate the financial strain of costly medications for cancer patients. This assistance can significantly impact the quality of life for those undergoing treatment and ensure they can access the medication they need to combat the disease effectively.
