My Story…

Next Step is is near and dear to my heart. Lou helped the founder many years ago get the organization off the ground, designing curricula and running camp weekends. Next Step has become even more special to me as one of our closest 7 year old friends, Tilly, was diagnosed with a spinal tumor and has been undergoing treatment. Tilly will likely require treatment and support for decades to come and what Next Step provides-- a home in between the pediatric and adult cancer worlds is unique and essential. This will be my 4th year running for Next Step and first race since becoming a mama of 3!

Description

Next Step empowers teens and young adults living with with life-threatening diseases to successfully transition from childhood to adulthood and into an adult healthcare system, creating their brightest future. This is done by providing extensive support and teaching essential life skills to help our participants to effectively manage their illness, maintain optimum emotional health, and succeed in their professional career. To accomplish these goals, the Next Step programs address the physical, emotional and developmental issues unique to these young adults through our community, music, and mentorship program and moving our young people closer to, "I believe in me."
