Our Mission in Action

For Christina, respite was more than a break from treatments. It was a chance to pause and be present with her children in ways she rarely could during her most intense months of care.

“Every day was really lovely. There was a balance of planned activities and just enough downtime. I got to go kayaking with my son, take quiet walks with my youngest, and enjoy time at the pool. It was peaceful, safe, and exactly what we needed.”

“This gave my kids a chance to have joy again and reminded me that we aren’t alone.”

Our Mission

For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable Respite Experiences.

Working with oncology professionals at over 100 hospitals and cancer centers, FPS provides transformative respite experiences to cancer patients (ages 21-55), their caregivers and their children and offers our families emotional support that assists them as their journey with cancer continues. Our respite program helps families recognize it is love, not cancer, that defines them.
