Hello! Our names are Madison Novice, Ali Weitz, Janet Gendelman, Molly Powers, Karlee Novice, and Taylor Novice. We are the founders of Cap & Conquer, Inc, a 501(3)(c) non-profit that focuses on raising funds for cancer patients in Southeast Michigan who choose to use scalp cooling (also known as cold caps), a technology used to reduce hair loss during chemotherapy. We started Cap & Conquer as a result of our own personal success stories and experiences using cold cap therapy.

We all came to know cold caps through different avenues, however we were all deeply impacted by this treatment. The three of us: Madison, Ali and Janet, who used scalp cooling successfully saved our hair with cold caps while undergoing chemotherapy. Molly is in the middle of treatment and has kept her hair so far! We all have been profoundly impacted by the power we felt in keeping our hair and the ability to maintain normalcy during such crazy and unpredictable times. We know how wonderful cold caps can be, but through our experiences, we also noticed many barriers to using this technology, especially the lack of knowledge and the financial burden.

We started Cap & Conquer to try to break down these barriers. We want every eligible cancer patient to be aware of cold caps and be able to use it if they so choose, no matter the cost. That is why we will be raising money to directly fund patients who cannot afford the treatment and use our platform to raise awareness about this hair-preserving technology along the way. Please learn more about us by visiting our website and consider donating and/or volunteering! If you are a patient who requires funding please apply! Even just learning about cold caps and educating those around you has the potential to make a huge difference in the life of a cancer patient and their families!
