Why volunteer for a cancer that has such a dismal outcome? Bringing awareness being around people that you share something in common with helped her to heal having a voice helped her to feel empowered.
Stephannie was the Caregiver for her Grandmother in the non tradional sense. She would visit her, read to her, dance for her or just hold her hand and talk with her.
Stephannie's favorite event is PurpleStride, this year she had a different role, she was able to speak with people attending and was able to share her story and hear their story. In talking to people they expressed they felt hope, felt love and gratiful to have so many people there fighting for a cure.
Stephannie feels volunteering with this group is rewarding in itself. Being a part of something that is giving back to people. The deep friendships you make with the people you volunteer with is rewarding.
"As long as you speak my name, I shall live forever." Is dedicated to my dad, Bill Whitson "Gramps" who died on June 1, 1998 - 25 years ago.
