Welcome to Lisa's Fundraising Page
This coming June 9th, I am participating in the Annual Hope in Motion Walk. I first walked in 2000 with family members, in memory of my father in law, Whitey Heist, who lost his battle with lung cancer. He received his care at the Bennett Cancer Center @ Stamford Hospital. I remember visiting him several times while he was there having his chemo, with a very young Mariah, when I would go in to work to pick up my paycheck. Then, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. I chose to have my care through the Bennett Cancer Center as well. I am now almost 20 years out and in remission. This year I am walking with several of my former coworkers, in honor of our Nurse Manager, Kathy, who has been battling cancer for the last several years. Kathy would have her chemo in the mornings and then report for duty, managing our Maternal-Child units and the NICU. She is a warrior. She will turn 60, two days after the walk.
The Hope in Motion Walk event continues to raise the funds necessary to provide a broad range of supportive services at no charge to Stamford Health’s Bennett Cancer Center patients. These services include programs such as: post treatment exercise, nutrition counseling, rides to and from treatment, daily lunches to patients undergoing chemotherapy, food cards for patients coping with food insecurity and grants to help patients in financial need with non- medical expenses.
Thank You for your Support,
Lisa
