Using a body of knowledge gained with the
participation of physicians, nurses, administrators, patients,
family members and hundreds of volunteers, in over 750,000 personal
visits, Karen and Simon Fox developed a program for giving emotional and compassionate
support to those who are sick, lonely, or dying. Karen Fox is
a cancer survivor with over 30 years of experience assisting patients
and their families as a health care professional and volunteer.
Simon Fox, a former physicist, has 20 years of experience in designing
volunteer and adult education programs.
These Adventures in Caring books and videos
were developed to share this knowledge with anyone who wants to
make a difference. It is our hope that all who share these videos,
books and seminars will find a new enthusiasm and satisfaction
in putting compassion into action.
