Heather and Rich Badt

 

The Cancer Support Community is honored to present Heather and Rich Badt with this year’s Caregiver Heroes Award. Diagnosed within a week of each other, Rich with esophageal cancer and Heather with breast cancer, they navigated two separate treatment regimens with a son aged 10 in elementary school and another son aged 13 in middle school.

 

Heather and Rich continue to navigate long-term maintenance for their respective diagnoses and have become national advocates for caregiving.
