Resources for those fighting cancer.

Because navigating cancer shouldn’t be this hard.

The Smilo Foundation was created to help people with cancer navigate a system that is often overwhelming and unclear. Our work is rooted in lived experience, after Mike Smilovitch was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma and leptomeningeal disease, and we saw firsthand how poor communication and delays can cost precious time. It took enormous effort and resources to find the right answers—resources many people don’t have access to. We exist to share that knowledge, help people ask better questions, and empower them to advocate for the care they deserve.
