ABOUT FCT
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity that provides direct support for cancer patients & their families.

Fighting Cancer Today (FCT) was founded in 2020 by Cierra Johnson (Daughter & Founder) and Anita Johnson (Mother & Co-Founder). The two saw the need for essential non-medical assistance for cancer patients once they returned home from hospital stays and treatments after Cierra, a 2x breast cancer survivor, was diagnosed in 2019. Anita has been a frontline caregiver for Cierra and many other loved ones who have battled cancer. Thoughts and ideas were shared between the two, and FCT was born. Together, we vowed we would walk on the frontlines alongside cancer patients, families, and support teams as they, too, fight cancer. We know we are better when we fight together, and we are committed to fighting alongside families in Southern Illinois, Northwest Indiana, and surrounding areas.

Creating a community of love & support.
