The Allyson Whitney Foundation (AWF) is excited to share that new relationships and resources have been added to our website under Equine Therapy — Lillian Dugan, LCSW, and Milo’s Mission. These new listings reflect our continued effort to provide young adults with rare cancers access to diverse, holistic, and meaningful support options.

Healing Through Equine Therapy

Equine therapy, or equine-assisted therapy, offers an innovative and deeply healing experience through guided interaction with horses. This therapeutic approach encourages mindfulness, emotional awareness, and confidence, helping individuals navigate the mental and emotional challenges of a cancer journey.

New Resources

 Lillian Dugan, LCSW
A licensed clinical social worker, Lillian Dugan brings extensive experience supporting individuals coping with chronic illness, anxiety, and trauma. Her compassionate approach focuses on emotional strength and overall well-being.

Milo’s Mission
Milo’s Mission provides equine-assisted experiences that foster healing, connection, and personal growth. Their work helps individuals build resilience and inner peace through the powerful bond between humans and horses.

Expanding Support for Young Adults with Rare Cancers

At the Allyson Whitney Foundation, our mission is to empower and uplift young adults living with rare cancers. By introducing these new relationships and resources, we’re broadening the scope of care and support available to our community — addressing not only physical needs but emotional and spiritual well-being as well.
