About Our Community
My Style Matters is dedicated to addressing disparities in cancer care head-on by providing resources, support, education, and healthy lifestyle experiences to individuals and communities disproportionately impacted by cancer, from diagnosis and beyond.
My Style Matters, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. One of our primary missions is to ease the journey for people with cancer as well as their caretakers. .
KICK CAN'T-CER
As a cancer survivor herself, our co-founder, Tiah, has first-hand experience with the cause. She knows the many ways cancer patients and their care-partners can benefit from the help of a supportive community. This was her inspiration for helping others to Kick Can’t-cer.
To do this, we take a multi-pronged approach to helping cancer patients and caregivers. We provide healthy personal care kits, and nutritious food boxes along with healthy lifestyle education, navigation and lifestyle coaching, confidence-building resources, and much more through our H.E.R. Support program.
