American Cancer Society volunteer program needs drivers in the Oklahoma City area

For some cancer patients, getting a ride to lifesaving medical treatment can be challenging.

That's where the American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program can make a difference, and the group has a goal to recruit more volunteer drivers.

American Cancer Society communications manager Tracy Guara said nearly 20,000 Oklahomans this year will learn they have cancer. For some, getting to treatment can be a serious obstacle.

That's why people such as Mike Crawford are a godsend.
