Wellness House for Living With Cancer |
Hearing the words, "you have cancer" is overwhelming and will change the course of your entire life. Statistics indicate that one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed at some point. Fortunately, when it comes to living with cancer there is help at Wellness House for families in the western suburbs.
Founded in 1990, Wellness House envisions a community where all people with cancer thrive. Thanks to the generosity of individuals and organizations, everything is offered free of charge.
Each year over 2,000 individuals attend programs in the areas of healthy living, emotional support, stress management and information sharing. These programs address key issues such as anxiety, fatique and physical strength and well-being.
New this year! The event will include a 5K Timed Run, a 5K Fun Run and a 3K Walk through the beautiful neighborhoods surrounding Wellness House. This family fun day includes entertainment and complimentary refreshments.
