The Summit

Every August the Cancer Wellness House (http://www.cancer-wellness.org/) in Salt Lake does a fundraiser called Survivors at the Summit for cancer patients and their families! The event takes place at Snowbird and everyone is invited (for a minimal fee) to hike or take the tram up to the Summit (hidden peak) and then enjoy a speaker and treats. It is a great experience and amazing to see so many people affected by cancer come together for a great cause. They even do a pancake breakfast! And thank goodness that Grandma thought to bring jackets because it was only 39 degrees up top!

The Cancer Wellness House is an amazing organization that provides support for cancer patients and their families! They have support groups, free massages, special events and lots more! They are a great organization and well worth the support.

  1. What a great thing to do as a family and to make as a tradition. Next year you should let us know when you go. It sounds like something that maybe my family would like to do to honor my Mother and also Wendy. Maybe even Virjean would enjoy it. Thanks for the post! It's nice to be reminded that we all need to do are part in world. To spread cancer awareness and to maybe someday find a cure...
