Darcie sits down for three inspiring conversations with the women who have shaped CanCare’s past, present, and future.

You’ll hear from:

Anne Turnage, CanCare’s courageous founder, who shares how her personal experience with cancer became the catalyst for a movement rooted in faith, connection, and emotional support.

Nancy Tucker, CanCare’s first CEO, who helped scale and sustain the organization with steady leadership, strategic growth, and deep heart for the mission for over 20 years.

Sandra Beno, current Chairman of the Board, who shares her vision for CanCare’s future and how we continue to grow while staying grounded in what matters most.

Together, these three leaders reflect on where CanCare began, how far we’ve come, and what’s ahead. It’s a celebration of leadership, legacy, and the lasting impact of compassion.

Whether you’ve been part of the CanCare community for years or you’re just discovering us, this episode is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people lead with love.
