The short time between his diagnosis and death was precious. And what I learned in that year changed the course of my life forever.</p> <p>When Pete battled cancer, he felt what cancer patients feel: emotional and physical exhaustion… fear… confusion… sadness… instability… uncertainty. And as his wife and caregiver, I felt broken, shaken and sometimes, alone. Pete was my high school and college sweetheart, we experienced so much of life together. Now, I was faced with a future without him.</p> <p>We had an amazing opportunity to escape those feelings when family and friends sent us on respite in the midst of Pete’s treatment.</p> <p>During that respite, we rediscovered who we were before cancer entered the fray. We pretended for a moment that our lives were without challenges. We celebrated each day.</p> <p>We had a chance to be Marci and Pete again – instead of Marci, Pete and cancer.</p> <p>And most importantly, we built Pete’s spirit back and strengthened his resolve for what lay ahead. We crossed the finish line together – and realized that cancer couldn’t define us.</p> <p>Upon returning from our respite renewed and rejuvenated, Pete wanted to ensure that patients just like him had this critical opportunity to regenerate their minds, bodies and spirits. I promised Pete to pursue his dream – and dedicated my life 100% to ensuring its realization.</p> <p>Pete changed my life forever – before and after cancer took him from me. And now, Pete continues to change the lives of hundreds upon hundreds of adult cancer patients (and their own caregivers) by creating joy through the transformative powers of respite. Thanks for helping us change lives!</p> <p>View the video below to capture our history and look towards our future!</p> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="mk-image mk-image-16 jupiter-donut- mk-image-lazyload align-center simple-frame inside-image " style="margin-bottom:20px"><div class="mk-image-container" style="max-width: 1180px;"><div class="mk-image-holder" style="max-width: 1180px;"><div class="mk-image-inner "><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="lightbox-false" alt="pete-fishing" title="pete-fishing" width="1180" height="1180" src="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/pete-fishing.jpg" /></div></div><div class="clearboth"></div></div></div> <h2 id="fancy-title-17" class="mk-fancy-title simple-style jupiter-donut- color-single"> <span> <p>Pete enjoying sailing, one of his favorite hobbies in Sea Isle City, NJ</p> </span> </h2> <div class="clearboth"></div> <div class="mk-image mk-image-18 jupiter-donut- mk-image-lazyload align-center simple-frame inside-image " style="margin-bottom:20px"><div class="mk-image-container" style="max-width: 1180px;"><div class="mk-image-holder" style="max-width: 1180px;"><div class="mk-image-inner "><img decoding="async" class="lightbox-false" alt="marcy-and-pete-nevis" title="marcy-and-pete-nevis" width="1180" height="1180" src="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/marcy-and-pete-nevis.jpg" /></div></div><div class="clearboth"></div></div></div> <h2 id="fancy-title-19" class="mk-fancy-title simple-style jupiter-donut- color-single"> <span> <p>Pete and Marci on respite in Nevis prior to his passing</p> </span> </h2> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div></div></div> </div> <div class="mk-image mk-image-20 jupiter-donut- mk-image-lazyload align-left simple-frame inside-image " style="margin-bottom:10px"><div class="mk-image-container" style="max-width: 314px;"><div class="mk-image-holder" style="max-width: 314px;"><div class="mk-image-inner "><img decoding="async" class="lightbox-false" alt="marci-schankweiler-signature-copy" title="marci-schankweiler-signature-copy" width="314" height="68" src="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/marci-schankweiler-signature-copy-1.jpg" /></div></div><div class="clearboth"></div></div></div> <div class=" vc_custom_1530194284824"> <div id="text-block-21" class="mk-text-block jupiter-donut- "> <p>FPS Founder and CEO<br /> <a href="mailto:Marci@takeabreakfromcancer.org">Marci@takeabreakfromcancer.org</a></p> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> </div> <div id="padding-22" class="mk-padding-divider jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clearfix"></div> <div class="wpb_video_widget jupiter-donut-"> <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div id="video-container-23" class="video-container " data-id="23" data-source="social_hosted" data-autoplay="0" data-loop="0" data-target="lightbox" itemprop="video" itemtype="https://schema.org/VideoObject" > <div id="video-player-23" class="video-player"> <iframe loading="lazy" id="iframe-player-23" data-id="23" title="Respite Transformed (Respite Transformed: Pete’s Vision Realized at Woodloch)" width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yCFPmmjdEto?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="padding-24" class="mk-padding-divider jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clearfix"></div> <div class="wpb_row vc_inner vc_row vc_row-fluid jupiter-donut- attched-false "> <div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div id="divider-25" class="mk-divider jupiter-donut- divider_full_width center thin_solid "> <div class="divider-inner"></div> </div> <div class="clearboth"></div> <div id="padding-26" class="mk-padding-divider jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clearfix"></div> </div></div></div> </div> <h2 id="fancy-title-27" class="mk-fancy-title simple-style jupiter-donut- color-single"> <span> <p>Meet Marci, our Founder & CEO</p> </span> </h2> <div class="clearboth"></div> <style>#fancy-title-27 {font-family: "Libre Baskerville"}</style> <div class="wpb_row vc_inner vc_row vc_row-fluid jupiter-donut- attched-false "> <div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class=" vc_custom_1703173209599"> <div id="text-block-28" class="mk-text-block jupiter-donut- "> <p>Marci Schankweiler is Founder & CEO of For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation (FPS).

Both experiences are transformative and address the emotional, psychosocial, financial, physical and spiritual traumas that families confront with a cancer diagnosis. Our Cancer Respite Program complements traditional treatment and the respite experience plays a crucial role in the patient continuum of care. </span></p> <p class="xmsonormal"><span style="color: black; background: white;">FPS works with oncology professionals at leading cancer centers to create these care-free, cost-free respite experiences for an underserved patient population. Patients (ages 21-55 and nominated by a member of their oncology team), caregivers and their children receive a Travel Respite Experience, or if they are unable to travel due to advanced stage cancer, they receive a Staycation Respite Experience in their own home. Both forms of respite will forever change lives.</span></p> <p>For families in the FPS program, we offer Respite Reinforced programs that provide ongoing support beyond the respite that assists them as their journey with cancer continues. This support continues to address our seven health pillars through in-person events, online education, and access to additional resources, including bereavement care.</p> <p>We have served thousands of people and our work has been recognized by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Fox News, People Magazine, Major League Baseball, Chick-fil-A, Comcast Newsmakers, University of PA Health System and LIVESTRONG.</p> <p>Join us as we help hundreds of people take a break from cancer each year!</p> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column column_container jupiter-donut-hidden-sm _ jupiter-donut-height-full"> <aside id="mk-sidebar" class=" jupiter-donut-"> <div class="sidebar-wrapper" style="padding:0;"> <section id="text-2" class="widget widget_text"><div class="widgettitle">About Us</div> <div class="textwidget"><p><b>WHO WE ARE</b><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/about-us/">Who Was Pete?</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/our-values/">Values</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/founding-region/">Founding Region</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/financial-stewardship/">Financial Stewardship</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/strategic-initiatives/">Strategic Initiatives</a></p> <p><b>WHAT WE DO</b><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/travel-respite-program/">Travel Respite Program</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/staycation-respite-program/">Staycation Respite Program</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/respite-reinforced/">Respite Reinforced</a></p> <p><b>LEADERSHIP</b><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/staff/">Staff</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/board/">Board</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/committees/">Committees</a></p> <p><b>JOIN THE TEAM</b><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/join-the-fps-team/">Work at FPS</a><br /> <a href="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/annual-reports/">Annual Reports</a></p> </div> </section> </div> </aside> </div> </div> <div data-mk-stretch-content="true" class="wpb_row vc_row vc_row-fluid jupiter-donut- mk-fullwidth-false attched-false js-master-row mk-grid"> <div class="vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container jupiter-donut- _ jupiter-donut-height-full"> <div id="padding-41" class="mk-padding-divider jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="clearboth"></div> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> </div> </div> <section id="mk-footer-unfold-spacer"></section> <section id="mk-footer" class="" role="contentinfo" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/WPFooter" > <div class="footer-wrapper fullwidth-footer"> <div class="mk-padding-wrapper"> <div class="mk-col-1-4"><section id="custom_html-10" class="widget_text widget widget_custom_html"><div class="widgettitle">FOR PETE’S SAKE CANCER RESPITE FOUNDATION</div><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><center>620 West Germantown Pike, Suite 150 <br> Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 <br> Phone: <a style="color: white;" href="tel:2677080510">(267) 708-0510</a> <br> Fax: (267) 708-0511 <br> <a style="color: white;" href="mailto:info@takeabreakfromcancer.org">info@takeabreakfromcancer.org</a></center></div></section><section id="custom_html-13" class="widget_text widget widget_custom_html"><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><br> <center><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Takeabreakfromcancer" target="_blank"><img src="https://takeabreakfromcancer.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/facebook-logo.png" style="width:30px;
