Where the Need Is Greatest
UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only public National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in the state, serving North Carolina and beyond.
A gift to UNC Lineberger provides resources for physicians and scientists to uncover the causes of cancer at the genetic and environmental levels, to conduct groundbreaking laboratory research, to provide compassionate care, and to translate findings into innovative clinical trials.
Get Real & Heel
Get Real & Heel is a unique program designed to serve cancer patients in North Carolina. The program integrates individualized prescriptive exercise administered in small groups of cancer patients in active treatment to provide a program that strengthens the body and mind.
Get Real & Heel is not just an exercise program — it is a community of people leaning on each other as they discover wellness in the midst of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
