The Hicks Foundation's mission is to eradicate cervical cancer in the State of Vermont.
Allison Hicks was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer at the age of 29. Within days of the diagnosis she underwent radical surgery that left her unable to bear children. Allison’s trauma was particularly intense because she is a trained doula, working to care for mothers and babies. After extensive treatment Allison transformed her personal struggle into action and created The Hicks Foundation so no woman would have to go through what she endured.
The Hicks Foundation works to educate women and link them with affordable health services so we can all catch cancer early, catch HPV before it leads to cancer, and catch individuals before they develop HPV.
Cervical Cancer is virtually 100% Preventable. Find out what you need to do. Surviving Begins with Knowing.
Catching cancer early, catching HPV before it leads to cancer, and catching individuals before they develop HPV will save money. And it will save lives.
