Denise Albert
CEO, Co-Founder
Welcome to My Cancer Family
Cancer support, community, and helping others on a cancer journey … my life passion and mission and purpose.
I am a journalist, entrepreneur, producer, and cancer advocate. I have spent the past 20 years working at ABC’s Good Morning America as Deputy Editorial Producer, Inside Edition as a Producer, President and Producer of Magician David Blaine (I helped him write his Ted Talk and produced his Oprah special). I am the founder of TheMOMS.com where I hosted a SiriusXM radio show, a television show called Moms & The City, and hosted over 400 of our celebrity Mamarazzi events (including Jennifer Garner, Jada Pinkett Smith, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman and more)!
But it was my cancer journey and people all over the country who inspired me to create My Cancer Family.
During the pandemic, I did a lot of soul-searching about what I really want from life and how being a survivor shapes my every day.
Colleen Sellers
COO, Co-Founder
I am beyond thrilled to join Denise to bring My Cancer Family to life. In 8th grade, I lost my Nana. Every year until then, I spent the summer with her in the suburbs of Boston and in Maine. She was my most beloved. Even now, as I write this, tears fall down my face. I know she has watched over me as my angel and seen my wonderful children and loves my husband and extended family as much as I do, but I will always wish she could be here to see the cousins play together and grow up. My daughter is named after her and my work with My Cancer Family is in honor of her. It is a true blessing to bring My Cancer Family to life with Denise and help all those impacted from Cancer have the support they need on this journey.
Before joining My Cancer Family, I spent lead marketing and sales teams for health tech start-ups. Prior to my time as a CMO, I was a marketing executive at Johnson & Johnson where I got to work on some of the world’s most beloved brands. My family and I had the amazing opportunity to live and work in Singapore. I received a MBA from Kellogg and a BA from Smith College.
We created My Cancer Family to help all cancer patients and their families and friends navigate the confusing and challenging world of cancer. You have amazing doctors and nurses in charge of your medical care, but there is so much more to the journey. And we are here for that. For resources on nutrition and mental health to information on amazing non-profits, to sharing the wisdom you only get from having been on the cancer journey (i.e. why your nose always runs) …
