At 37 years old, I never thought I'd hear the words "you have cancer" but here we are.

While my follicular thyroid cancer journey has been a walk in the park compared to others, it has opened my eyes to the anxiety, fear, stress, heartache and chaos that comes with a cancer diagnosis.

I walk for the Wellness House and in honor of my loved ones who have had to fight way harder than is fair:

My dad, Patrick Bauer- lymphoma

Karen & Randy Nicklaus- Breast & Bladder

And in memory of the loved ones we've lost-

Grandpa Bob- Brain

Uncle Craig- Lymphoma 

Wellness House provides complete cancer care - every step of the way. Whether you have cancer, or you are caring for a friend or family member who is diagnosed with cancer, all are welcome at Wellness House. More than 520 programs are provided each month, both online and in person, to improve physical and emotional well-being and give people with cancer a support network like no other. 

Because of the Walk, and the generous donations of individuals and businesses, everything at Wellness House is provided free of charge, providing one less thing to worry about when struggling with a cancer. That's why I have joined the Walk and why I ask you to join me in giving what you can to support people in the fight for their lives.
