Hello and thank you for stopping by my fundraising page! I'm deeply passionate about supporting cancer survivorship, which is why I've embarked on this fundraising journey for the Wellness & Integrative Medicine Program at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport – Feist-Weiller Cancer Center. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer survivors. Together, let's make a positive impact and empower those fighting against cancer. Thank you for your generosity and support!
2024 Cancer Survivorship Walkathon
Inspired by the stories of cancer survivors from Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport—Feist-Weiller Cancer Center and moved to make a difference in the local community, medical students from LSU Health Shreveport in 2022 started a weekly walking group for survivors and their supporters. In June 2022, the students joined forces with Feist-Weiller to hold the first-ever Cancer Survivorship Walkathon to celebrate survivors, those in treatment, and a community of supporters in North Louisiana while raising funds supporting survivorship.
Proceeds from Walkathon benefit the Wellness & Integrative Medicine Program at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport – Feist-Weiller Cancer Center. This program includes extensive support for Feist-Weiller Cancer Center Survivors, including resources on mind, menu, and movement to improve patient outcomes as they transition from treatment to a healthy lifestyle after cancer.
