Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you know, breast cancer has been part of our family's reality for many years. Both my sisters were diagnosed with it, and this fall we received the news that my daughter, Christy, is battling breast cancer. While her medical team is providing state of the art care for her, the Wellness House has been an invaluable resource for her and for us.  Everyone who has been affected by cancer — whether they've been diagnosed, have a family member who’s living with cancer, or are a caregiver — is welcome at Wellness House. There you learn new skills, get information on the latest research and best cancer fighting practices, and join others when you take classes, practice healthful living, reduce stress, and more. All Wellness House programs and services are led by experts, designed to prepare and empower you to fully live life with cancer.  Thanks to the generosity of individuals, foundations and corporations that provide gifts to Wellness House, there's absolutely no charge for any of their programs and services.

I am participating in the Walk for Wellness House because I know how important support and community has been for my family and for others impacted by cancer. I want to help ensure their access to the life-changing programs and services at Wellness House.

Please join me by making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goals, but more importantly to help Wellness House to continue providing such valuable support to families affected by cancer in our community.

Thank you!
