THE CANCER101 TEAM
|
Monica Knoll
Founder
|
We lost a fearless warrior and a guiding force in the cancer community on the morning of June 20, 2011. Monica Knoll, the founder of CANCER101, passed away peacefully in Connecticut, surrounded by her family.
Monica was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and ovarian cancer in 2006. While being treated for breast cancer, Monica created the CANCER101 Planner designed to empower cancer patients and their caregivers from the moment of diagnosis. The CANCER101 Planner is now used by thousands of patients in over 300 cancer centers across the country. Through her tireless work and leadership, Monica will have a lasting impact on the medical community and grateful patients everywhere.
Monica's legacy and vision will live on through CANCER101, the organization she built from the ground up. Monica will forever be known for her magnetic smile and personality that always seemed to light up a room. Memories of her bright spirit will ignite our path forward, as we continue to empower patients and caregivers with purpose and persistence, during their fight against cancer. Monica taught us how to be fearless in our efforts, reach for the stars, and believe that we can each make a difference.
We plan to take what we've learned and build upon it through innovation, partnerships, dedication and listening to the needs of CANCER101 friends. We as a community, can strive towards carrying on Monica's mission in unison.

Aracely Delgado graduated from New York University's Stern School of Business with a BS in marketing in 2008. Through her coursework and volunteering endeavors Aracely became interested in the nonprofit world. CANCER101 caught her eye immediately as a company on the brink of expanding its resources to help more people who are affected by cancer. Inspired by such a great resource given to those touched by this disease, Aracely interned for a year at CANCER101.
