At some point or another we have all had someone we know; a friend, a member of your family, someone in the community, affected by cancer. I certainly have had several friends; in the past year or so. They are all doing very well, thank God.

It is part of a national nonprofit organization that provides support, education an hope to people with cancer and their loved ones. Through participation in professionally-led support groups, educational workshops and mind/body classes, people affected by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain control, reduce isolation, and restore hope, regardless of the stage of the disease. All programs are Free of Charge!! Complete information is available on http://www.cancersupportdelaware.org.

Do you remember when it used to be called The Wellness Community Delaware? Well, that name has been changed and it is now called Cancer Support Community Delaware. The Mission? That has stayed the same; to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community. Cancer Support Community Delaware is the only organization in Delaware dedicated exclusively to helping people cope with and manage the emotional aspect of cancer. They also focus on the cancer participants’ family and/or caregivers, including children and teenagers.

It is official, the name of The Wellness Community of Delaware has been changed to Cancer Support Community Delaware. You know how it is; it takes some time for the new name to take so for the purposes of this post it can still be called The Wellness Community of Delaware.
Of course, their mission is most important. “It is a statewide non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community”
All programs are free of charge. For more information, please visit http://www.wellnessdelaware.org.
Their location, in our Delaware Beaches, is on the Beebe Health Campus on Rt. 24 (John J. Williams Highway) in the Medical Arts Building.
An upcoming event is called A Pink Affair to Remember 2011….and, we are all invited to attend.
Date: Friday, October 21st
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Location: Epworth United Methodist Church, 19285 Holland Glade Rd., Rehoboth, Delaware.
Tickets: $30.00 It is going to be a fashionable afternoon. Included with your ticket is a delicious brunch and fashion show. Chinese and Silent Auctions, as well. You can also accessorize yourself by shopping until you drop.
This fundraising event will be benefitting The Wellness Community of Delaware, and Justin’s Beach House in Bethany Beach.
I wrote a post with pictures on Justin’s Beach House on May 16, 2011. If you would like to see it just click on the month of May and scroll down to the date.
If you have traveled on Rt. 26 in Bethany you might have noticed the over sized, light blue, Adirondack chair. This foundation came out of a sad event for this family….you can read all about it by visiting http://www.justinjennings.org.
When this happened they did not sit back, they took action and a foundation took place with the help of a community. It helps “families” with cancer. Getting away from it all in the Quiet Resort of Bethany Beach.
