The Cancer Support Community of Greater St. Louis (Formerly the Wellness Community of St. Louis) was a very important organization to my parents. They were founding members of the St. Louis chapter and remained very involved throughout their lives. During these challenging times, people struggling with cancer often are in need of even greater support. During the past two years, CSCSTL has transitioned their programming to a hyrbid model offering programs both in-peson at CSC and virtually via ZOOM to provide services and support where people need it most. All "to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community."
Each May, I look forward to celebrating my mom with her nearest and dearest at the Steps for Hope Walk. This year, the Steps for Hope Walk, will be on May 4th at Creve Coeur Park! It will be the 26th Anniversary of the walk!
Once again, I have organized Team Gracie, and I would love if you would walk with us in her honor. We invite you to "WALK WITH US" on May 4th. You may join CSCSTL at Creve Coeur Lake, or walk where ever you may be! For those of you who can join us in any capacity, please snap a photo of you walking on Team Gracie and share with us! We will have a Team Gracie tent where we can gather before and after the walk.
Sign up as a participant and "walk with our team!" I have not set a fundraising goal, although any funds we raise would be wonderful.
My true motivation for participating in this event is to honor and celebrate my mom with each of you.
This year, as in all years, I’m also walking in honor of my Dad Bob, my Aunt Gail and my cousin, Lynne. I am also walking in memory of Peggy Nelson, a dear friend of our family and the Cancer Support Community.
With Love and Gratitude, Jessica
Join us for Cancer Support Community of Greater St. Louis' 26th annual Steps for Hope, and inspire others to celebrate hope, honor loved ones and join in community on Saturday, May 4, 2024! This year, we will gather at Creve Coeur Park to take Steps for Hope and extend support and compassion to those impacted by cancer in our community. Walkers and runners choose a 1 or 3.7 mile route at beautiful Creve Coeur Park!
Proceeds from the event stay in the St. Louis area and fund Cancer Support Community of Greater St. Louis' programs, all of which are available at no charge to anyone impacted by cancer. When you take your own STEPS FOR HOPE you help share knowledge, community, and hope with individuals and families affected by cancer.
Planning to attend on May 4th? Register here and make sure to select your team to ensure your registration amount goes toward your team goal!
