serves residential, commercial, government, municipal, and educational customers. Photographs by Nancy Borowick documenting her parents’ parallel struggle with Stage 4 cancer continue to make their way around the world at art exhibits and in many online media outlets. Nancy has spent the last four years working on the project, called Cancer Family, Ongoing, which has struck a chord with thousands of viewers. She is now busy compiling a book to tell the story of her parents’ journey through their illnesses and a look back at their lives before they were sick. Borowick’s Kickstarter campaign to fund publishing costs easily surpassed its $34,000 goal. A total of 740 backers pledged more than $65,000 to help bring the project to life. Accompanying the recent campaign launch was a piece on the New York Times Lens Blog written by Borowick, with never-before-seen photographs from the project and a personal essay. For more information about the project, or to share comments or ideas, contact CancerFamilyProject@gmail.com.
