WELCOME TO MY WMASS MOTHER’S DAY Half Marathon FUNDRAISING PAGE!

On May 14, I will run the Western Mass Mother’s Day Half Marathon with the purpose of raising critical funds and awareness to help those dealing with cancer!

It takes more than one person to make up a team and that’s why I’m asking you to join my cancer fighting team through your tax deductible donation.

As many of you know, I lost my Mother, Kathy Tetreault to Ovarian Cancer in 1997. Currently, my Father's Wife, Judi is battling Lymphatic Cancer. As a Mother to Maddy, 4 and Charlie, 18 months, it is so important to stay healthy for ourselves and for our children. I am running this race with my oldest Best Friend, Kate Cardoso, who has been a Mother to me for over 30+ years.  

By participating as a fundraiser for Cancer Connection, I am raising funds to help fund wellness programs and therapies for those dealing with cancer as well as their families & caregivers.

Your donation will help fund treatments that impact lives every day; like yoga, reiki, water aerobics, knitting, as well as many support groups. You may not know it, but every single donation helps provide these services free of charge to local community members.

Please make a donation in support of my efforts for Cancer Connection and help us be able to offer more wellness services to our community members.

Honor the angels, support the heroes. 

Let's make a world of heroes.  Let's fight this fight as a team and do our part to help our community.

Thank you for your support always. Every little bit helps at community event such as these. Hope to see you all out and about in our region soon. 

With gratitude,

Tara Brewster

At our center on Locust Street in Northampton, people living with cancer, their families and caregivers can meet one-on-one in a comforting and welcoming environment with staff or volunteers. We also host support groups that offer coping strategies and emotional support.  Other services include integrative therapies (Reiki, reflexology, acupuncture, massage and guided imagery), programs and workshops including creative arts and exercise classes that focus on relieving physical and emotional stress and building physical and emotional strength.

Cancer Connection offers programs and support free of charge for men, women and children living with a cancer diagnosis, their families and friends. You are welcome to attend as many programs as you would like, based on space availability. We offer additional classes and workshops in the spring and fall. You can call our center and ask to be added to the mailing list for our next program guide.

Priority for our programs is given to those currently in treatment along with their family and caregivers.  All programs, unless noted, are held at Cancer Connection:

Many classes can accept new participants, even if the class has already started. Call today to ask about joining!
