Well Dressed for Spring 2025

I'm fundraising for...

On March 26, 2025, we will be walking the runway at Well Dressed for Spring in support of Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation at Yorkville Village.

This event will help raise funds for the cancer support programs and services that Wellspring provides, at no cost, to individuals and families living with cancer.

Please help us reach our fundraising goal, so that together we can make a difference in the lives of Wellspring members.

Thank you for your generous support!

Why are we fundraising for Wellspring??

Tuesday 11th Feb

Kat was only 34 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. She and Jon were supposed to be starting a family. And with the complications from treatment, they weren’t even sure if it would be possible anymore.

Kat says Wellspring gave her the tools to navigate what her life would look like after cancer. It helped her heal. Jon says he was going through the same journey as Kat but with front-row seats. While he found himself in denial at the start, Wellspring helped him share what he was going through as a caregiver. But he says Kat’s strength was the most impressive and powerful thing he has ever witnessed.

Thankfully, like a light at the end of the tunnel, Jon and Kat now have two beautiful boys. Although cancer appeared in their life again in 2020 with her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis, both women are living cancer-free today.

Kat says even though cancer sucks, she feels it’s given her a different perspective on life and allowed her to connect with individuals on a deeper level. Jon and Kat are thrilled to be supporting Wellsprings so others can benefit from the programs in the future!

I'm disappointed I can't be there to cheer you both on as you walk the runway! Go get'em but when NY fashion week comes calling, tell them you already have a job :)
