Susan Keeler Smith’s courageous 16-year battle with metastatic breast cancer has been a profound source of inspiration and hope for so many facing a similar journey. Cancer is an incredibly challenging experience—physically, emotionally, and mentally—and it requires extraordinary strength and perseverance. Susan’s determination to keep fighting, even in the face of daunting odds, was truly remarkable. Through her courage and resilience, she showed others that it is possible to find strength, hope, and purpose, even during life’s most difficult moments.

I am deeply grateful to have joined the Wellness House Board several years ago and to now serve as Chair of its Board of Directors. Once again, I am honored and excited to lead Team Susan in the Walk for Wellness House. I warmly invite anyone who is interested to join us on May 4th as we walk together to raise vital funds in support of Wellness House and the individuals and families it serves.

Wellness House provides comprehensive cancer support—every step of the way. Whether you are navigating a cancer diagnosis yourself or caring for a loved one, all are welcome at Wellness House. Each month, more than 525 programs are offered both in person and online, designed to strengthen physical and emotional well-being and to provide a support network unlike any other.

Because of the Walk, and the incredible generosity of individuals and businesses, every program and service at Wellness House is offered free of charge—lifting one more burden from those already facing the weight of cancer. That is why I walk. And that is why I ask you to join me, whether by walking alongside Team Susan or by giving what you can, to support those who are fighting for their lives.
