Our personal message:

Thanks to all of our supporters!!!

With your support and our feet, we completed the 10.6 mile course at the Big Sur Marathon and raised over $18,000 for The Wellness Community!!!  That means 30 people living with cancer and their loved ones will receive cancer support, education and hope through TWC classes, counseling, support groups, resources and a community that understands their needs.

The day was beautiful.  The weather was perfect.  Our trainers welcomed us across the finish line and supported us along the way as they did each week during our training.  Sporting pictures of Phil on the back of our team jerseys, people asked us questions along the way and we shared his story.

Thanks so much for your generous contribution to TWC.  We appreciate your generosity towards the organization that has been so important to all of us and to Phil.

Joanna, Anja, Paige, Anne, John, Mary Jo & Josette
