About
About UNCCRI
Frank Gale Faith Not Fear (FGFNF) was founded by Kaye Firestone and inspired by the great loss of her extraordinary husband Frank Gale. During his 8-year battle with cancer, University of Northern Colorado Cancer Rehabilitation Institute's (UNCCRI) cutting-edge program was instrumental over and over again in giving them their lives back. The University of Northern Colorado graciously provides only the facility for the Institute, but ALL program costs must be raised yearly to keep the Institute open and operational. FGFNF solely exists to fully fund UNCCRI, which will restore their hope and allow cancer patients to get their lives back.
The mission of the University of Northern Colorado Cancer Rehabilitation Institute (UNCCRI) is to advance the quality of life for cancer survivors during and following treatment through prescriptive exercise rehabilitation. Improving quality of life is all they do at UNCCRI. The program reduces depression, alleviates fatigue, increases flexibility and balance, enhances muscle strength, and increases functional capacity. The Institute provides clinical cancer rehabilitation services, conducts industry leading research, and provides educational opportunities for those committed to the rehabilitative efforts of cancer survivors. UNCCRI provides exercised- based rehabilitation services to cancer survivors right here in Greeley, Weld County, and across Northern Colorado. The research performed at this facility is used to improve our understanding of exercise rehabilitation for cancer survivors around the world through peer-reviewed publications, educational programs and presentations. When cancer patients are going through treatments, getting up and brushing their teeth can be a chore. The only focus at UNCCRI is to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors by providing clinical exercise-based rehabilitation services.
We have an opportunity to achieve great things at FGFNF and UCCRI. Please join us in standing in Faith Not Fear.

Background Statement
When Frank started his journey at UNCCRI he couldn’t even do a push-up. After going through radiation, immunotherapy and chemo, my Superman was left struggling with many side effects including fatigue and muscular weakness. Because UNCCRI knows and has proven positive effects of exercise, the team took Frank from not being able to walk around the block to running up the stairs at UNC Guggenheim Hall acting like Rocky.
At UNCCRI the program relies on donations and grants to keep its program up and running. Frank's memory will live at UNCCRI for many years because of his contagious, positive, energetic personality. This place is special and they are helping cancer Warriors one step at a time.
