About Us
Our Story
Our founders, Phil and Cheryl Genet, re-met at UCSF infusion center in San Francisco on November 23, 2005. After a whirlwind romance, the couple started their lives together in San Rafael, California. Cheryl is a cancer warrior, and has beat thyroid and breast cancer multiple times. Phil was always by her side. They share a passion for giving back and taking care of others. In 2014, the couple purchased what is now known as Lac Du Genet in Sonoma, California.
Phil and Cheryl and are the epitome of a true love story, reminding us all of the importance of second chances, and later overcoming even more tremendous health obstacles. In 2022, Phil got diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and cancer and was put on hospice. Nobody could have ever predicted that as May, 2025, Phil would sill be with us, happily seeing the progress of their shared dream of bliss days at Lac du Genet, to care for those with cancer coming true.
