Here Is How We Help Improve the Lives of Those Fighting the Battle Against Cancer in Philadelphia, PA

After being diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2005, Nick Colleluori, the founder of HEADstrong, decided his life’s mission would be to help improve the lives of others living with cancer. Although he lost his battle to cancer in 2006, Nick’s vision lives on through the HEADstrong Foundation. The HEADstrong team works hard everyday to ensure that Nick’s legacy lives on, and they do so by providing the following services to those who are living in Philadelphia, PA:

  • Nick’s House: Complimentary lodging located in the Philadelphia metropolitan area for out-of-town cancer patients, as well as their families.
  • Financial Service: A program that grants financial aid to those who are struggling financially due to their cancer diagnosis.
  • Entertainment: This service brings elements of the family dinner table to hospitals in Philadelphia. We serve home-style meals and provide recreational activities to cancer patients and their families during their stay at a Philadelphia, PA hospital.
  • Peer Support: We connect patients who are newly diagnosed with cancer with others who have been fighting the same battle, as well as those who have beaten cancer.

    • We are able to provide our services to those who are living in Philadelphia, PA thanks to individuals and organizations who donate their time and resources to the HEADstrong Foundation.
