Above + Beyond Cancer 1305 50th Street, West Des Moines, IA 50266

"My rating- 5 stars! Though ratings for this organization are irrelevant, as Duck Demings’s Above and Beyond Cancer is an anomaly. There is no other like it. I’ve looked. I’ve been through the dark process of diagnosis, treatment, and surgery and I can say without hesitation that the staff and programs of ABC have restored my ability to live life with verve, with relish, and with joy. The donation-funded programs, free to the cancer survivors, provide weekly regimens of hiking, yoga, cardio, cooking, meditation, and more. If your experience of cancer was anything like mine, once your procedure was complete and your medications prescribed, you found yourself basically standing on the highway with your suitcase in your hand and staring at a long, unfamiliar road to recovery. ABC takes you from that place of aloneness and uncertainty and puts you in its groups, all of whose members have a similar story. The fellowship and support you’ll experience will transform you!"

"Love this organization! It’s a welcoming community offering an array of mind, body, and spirit affirming activities that anchor my week. Highly recommend!"

"This organization continues to provide amazing programming to help you get on a healthier path and most of it is totally free! Also, Mary VH totally rocks."

"Above and Beyond Cancer is a very friendly, positive organization. It brings people together for fun and activity that boosts physical and emotional well-being. There is a wide variety of activities offered throughout the year. I have met some amazing people and friends thanks to ABC!"
