"I have experience of many people who have attended The Gawler Foundation’s residential programs. They gain a deeper understanding, a greater commitment, a happier attitude, and live their lives more completely. There is compelling research that these programs reliably improve quality of life, frequently improve duration of survival and sometimes lead to remarkable recovery."

"The outcome of cancer treatment depends on a patient’s general health, immune reactions and psychological approach. Cancer support groups like those conducted by The Gawler Foundation deal with such factors as nutrition, stress management, meditation, relaxation and positive thinking. They are well deserving of your support."

Past President of the International Society of Psycho-Oncologists, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel
