  • Traci Bress

    Account Manager- Don Bullard Insurance

    I have witnessed the impacts of cancer through both sides of the lens - as a caretaker & patient. I always felt that God had a purpose for my journey, but I was unsure of the path I would take. Then, I learned of Hope Abounds Cancer Network and their dedication to helping families on the same journey. I knew that this was where I could make a difference. I am grateful for the chance to give back and be a part of a wonderful, faith-based organization that provides others with something that was not available to me during my experience. and that is hope through a supportive, loving community.”
