I'm very humbled to have been selected as this years ambassador for the Mukwonago ParkWalk for Cancer on Saturday, May 2. My story will be featured in the newpaper and on the website. It will be a neat way for me to share my experience and hopefully inspire others in the process.
My favorite thing about this walk is that I personally have benefited from programs funded by walkers donations. My nurse navigator was the first one to talk with me after my diagnosis, and has been there for me through this whole process. I really don't know what I would've done without her help. She has been absolutely amazing. I also am involved in 2 clinical trials, and used the 3D mammography. It has been so wonderful staying right in town for my treatments, and I'm very thankful for the programs and services provided at the D.N. Greenwald Center.
Here’s how your donations help:
-Donations from this event support local cancer research and programs in Mukwonago.
- Enable patients to enroll in clinical cancer trials, giving them access to the most current treatment options
- Expand the reach of state-of-the-art technologies, like 3D mammography
- Provide funding for important programs, like clinical dieticians, nurse navigators who are dedicated partners to each cancer patient and the survivorship program.
So consider coming out and supporting me on May 2nd. I will be giving the ambassador speech, and then leading the walk. Well, we'll have to see how long I stay in front, depending on my energy level. Hopefully it may be a big day of celebrating, because I should be finishing up my radiation treatments right around then.
So I hope you're able to join my team, Sheila's Squad. If you plan on registering more than one person make sure you choose to register multiple people first, and then you'll be asked to join a team. Also, just a little heads up that the team deadline is March 23.
And remember, if you want to be a member of the Sheila Squad, you have to be smart. (Signed Scuba Steve)
