Our Story
Being diagnosed with cancer after returning from his Iraq deployment, Combat Veteran Chris Hall had personally felt the impact of the disease on people and their loved ones. This firsthand experience made him and his family realize the need to provide patients with support and compassion in a way that others may not. They then created Chris Hall Cancer 501(c)s Foundation together with utmost integrity and determination to their cause.
