Imerman Angels partners anyone, any age, any gender, anywhere and any cancer type seeking support with someone just like them—a “Mentor Angel.” A Mentor Angel is a cancer survivor or caregiver who most importantly has faced the same type of cancer.

These one-on-one relationships give a cancer fighter or caregiver the chance to ask personal questions and get support from someone who has been there before. Mentor Angels can lend support and empathy and help cancer fighters and caregivers navigate the system, determine their options and create their own support systems. Frequently, caregivers experience feelings similar to those of the person facing cancer. Mentor Angels can relate while being sensitive to the experience and situation.

We’re a non-profit improving the way guys think, feel, and act through every phase of their caregiving journey. Meeting them where they are in spaces that inspire solace and renewal.

Memories Live was created in 2010, by Kerry Glass after a mother in her New Jersey community passed away from lung cancer at the age of 39.

It was at that moment Memories Live was born.
