I felt like people’s arms were wrapped around me. It was a place where I didn’t have to explain… they just understood with kindness and compassion. Every person’s cancer journey is unique. At Wellspring, I felt seen and heard.
It helped me a lot because I no longer felt alone. I have a community that supported me. I have people to talk to, sharing the same journey as me, sharing the same issues and concerns, and helping each other face it.
The expertly designed fitness program continuously evolves and challenges you, but it is the community that makes it extraordinary — a safe, uplifting space where people who understand cancer come together to encourage one another, grow stronger, and even find joy.
My whole sense of worth has come back. I felt like I had lost myself. I didn’t know who I was anymore. I can’t express enough how Wellspring changed my life.
I’m so incredibly grateful for how things have turned out for me, and for all the support I’ve received from Wellspring. Helping others through such a challenging time is how I show my gratitude.
These programs were like a lifeline for me. Through the Oasis support group, I learnt that I’m not alone and I got some ‘normalcy’ back into my life. When I started Cancer Exercise, I was hunched over and walking with a cane. About a month into the program, I let go of my cane, which was a huge achievement. It’s now almost a year I can actually walk standing up straight and I have less pain.
Wellspring is a Canada-wide network of charities, offering programs and services, at no charge and without referral, to anyone, with any type of cancer, at any stage in their journey.
Hearing the words “you have cancer” is life changing. It can involve significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges that go well beyond important medical treatments. That’s where Wellspring fits in.
