GMDK Foundation at a Glance
A Bright Light During Dark Days
While battling a mentally and physically taxing battle with ovarian cancer Gina and her family found that one of the most challenging aspects of receiving treatments was actually getting there. Most people do not understand how expensive travel (sometimes to other states) can be. On top of what is already a sensitive and scary time, the last thing families should be concerned with is "getting to doctors".
On the heels of Gina Maria Dozier King's passing, the GMDK Foundation was created to support patients and their families in their travel needs. This relief is often not thought about in many cancer relief programs. The GMDK Foundation knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. We implore you to join us in making impact that matters.
“Choose joy, choose to be someones joy”
-Gina Maria Dozier King
