ABOUT MANTA CARES

By Patients, for Patients

Cancer is like a treacherous hike with no map or gear. It can be scary and lonely — but it doesn't have to be.

Manta Cares is a team of people — cancer patients, survivors, care partners, oncologists, nurses, entrepreneurs, designers, and developers — who have been directly impacted by cancer. We have built the tools and resources we wish we had.

We have been there. We get it.
