HINSDALE, Ill., March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Sunday, May 3, 2015 over 2,000 cancer survivors, families, friends, and volunteers will gather in support of people living with cancer and to celebrate 25 years of service at the annual Walk for Wellness House fundraiser. This family fun event will begin and end at Wellness House located at 131 N. County Line Rd. Hinsdale, IL 60521.
25 years ago, a group of people came together because they saw, first-hand, the impact of cancer on their family and friends. Out of concern and determination, Wellness House was born to lighten cancer's burden through programs that support, inform and educate people affected by cancer.
"It is a wonderful resource for knowledge and support. [It] has a wealth of programs ranging from exercise, to support groups, to nutrition, to art and expressive groups, to stress reduction, and much more. It's an oasis of loving kindness and understanding. The staff and volunteers are wonderful. It's a safe haven and always feels like coming home, being among other cancer survivors. Oh, and it's all free!" stated a recent Wellness House participant.
