Author(s):

Kristie L. Kahl

In this week’s episode, we spoke with the founder of Imerman Angels on providing personalized connections to enable one-on-one support among cancer fighters, survivors and caregivers.

After receiving a testicular cancer diagnosis at just 26 years old, Jonny Imerman sought mentorship from someone else who had endured a similar situation but came up short.

In turn, he founded the cancer support community Imerman Angels, created to provide personalized connections to enable one-on-one support among cancer fighters, survivors and caregivers.

In this week’s episode, we spoke with Imerman about his cancer journey and how his organization helps individuals affected by cancer worldwide.
