About Time for Life
Established in 1999, Time For Life is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and
implementing programs and services to meet the needs of children with cancer and their families in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Serving communities in the Connecticut and Massachusetts areas, Time For Life works to serve children and families from the point of
diagnosis, through treatment, and onto survival. This continuity of services increases the effectiveness of our programs and allows
us to address the long-term issues and complications faced by all those affected by a child’s cancer.
The children we help are treated for a range of different cancer diagnoses at the major pediatric oncology hospitals
in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Ranging in age from infancy to 18 years of age, some of the children we help are in
treatment, some are in remission and others are fortunate enough to be considered cured.
Significant advances have been made in the treatment of pediatric cancer. Encouragingly, the cancer death rate has
dropped more dramatically for children than in any other age group. However, these advances often result in lengthy and intense treatment regimes.
While Time For Life applauds this monumental progress, we also recognize the serious complications of the disease and treatments,
and are well aware of the profound impact they have on the quality of life of children as well as on their loved ones. Given the
range of outcomes and the need for services, Time For Life is dedicated to helping children with cancer and their families gain
access to sound information and supportive programs that can help them through their enormously difficult challenges.
