This is an organization whose goals include helping to “reduce the financial and emotional burdens of those dealing with a cancer diagnosis.â€The attackers did not leave the traditional ransom demand note, oh no, but chose to personally reach out to the agency's executive director, president and vice president to make the extortion demands clear.
