    Hi Wanda,
    You may want to contact Gentech. (See below) They offer free or reduced cost for patients in need. I am not sure if this is just an offering in the US or what, but it would be worth checking into.

    Genentech - Avastin
    Genentech Access to Care Foundation
    1 DNA Way, MS #13A
    South San Francisco, CA 94080
    (800) 530-3083
    FAX: (650) 225-1366
    Genentech has established the Genentech Access to Care Foundation to ensure patients have access to all Genentech marketed drugs. Since 1990, Genentech has donated $700 million of free product to uninsured patients. In order to qualify for this program, there are certain requirements including income restrictions.

    Good Luck,
    Heather and Carl

    I don't know if they do this for individuals, but it's worth a try....

    www.getyourrearingear.com...

    They put together 'blue ribbon' (colorectal cancer) 5k races...maybe they can help at least from a source for ideas...

    Hugs, Kathi
