Help Denise raise money

I will be participating Toronto Waterfront Marathon 5km run in support of Wellspring Cancer Support services. I am asking for your support in raising funds for an exceptional organization.

Facing a cancer diagnosis was one of the most daunting challenges I have experienced. I first learned about Wellspring through an online chat forum when facing a particularly difficult decision relating to my treatment and suffering longer term effects relating to the chemo treatment. Wellspring offers a range of non-medical services for people living with cancer and their families, focusing on emotional, physical, and practical support. Services are in person (across Canada) or online.

Walking into Wellspring without an appointment, I was immediately given a tour of the facility and received an offer to speak with a counsellor. I was surrounded by staff and volunteers who understood what I was going through and wanted to help.

Since that day I have been fortunate to take advantage of several of their programs. I participated in yoga and meditation sessions that helped me manage anxiety. I completed a 12-week physical fitness program which was designed specifically for me and my physical recovery needs. I received support relating to brain fog, and took part in nutrition classes tailored for people going through breast cancer treatment.  All at no cost to me.

Wellspring Cancer services played an integral role in my recovery, and I am happy to have an opportunity to give back. Please give to help support me in this endeavor.
