2008 annual report
Dear Friends,<br />
As 2008 winds to an end, we are happy to share<br />
with each of you a snapshot of our year in<br />
review. This picture tells our story from several<br />
vantage points: from <strong>the</strong> perspective of our<br />
participants and <strong>the</strong>ir families, who have been<br />
touched by <strong>the</strong> care provided at <strong>LivingWell</strong>; and<br />
from <strong>the</strong> point of view of our dedicated volunteers<br />
and donors who give so much back to our<br />
organization. Through <strong>the</strong>ir stories we hope to<br />
express our heartfelt gratitude for <strong>the</strong> contributions<br />
each of you have made in <strong>the</strong> past year that<br />
continue to make it all possible.<br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> is a ruthless equalizer. It touches both<br />
men and women, old and young, from all neighborhoods,<br />
backgrounds and experience. But one<br />
thing is still certain: statistics show that half of<br />
all men and a third of all women will be diagnosed<br />
with cancer in <strong>the</strong>ir lifetime. To meet that<br />
anticipated need, <strong>LivingWell</strong> continues to grow<br />
through new programming, support services and<br />
education offerings. This year alone, hundreds<br />
of those touched by cancer have come through<br />
our door, and we are humbled by <strong>the</strong> opportunity<br />
we have had to serve and support both <strong>the</strong>m<br />
and <strong>the</strong>ir families.<br />
While this has been a year of tremendous growth<br />
for <strong>LivingWell</strong>, ano<strong>the</strong>r trend has also become<br />
clear: many who have been touched by Living-<br />
Well are compelled to give back to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
that will follow in <strong>the</strong>ir footsteps by volunteering<br />
as part of our organization. And still o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
who have yet to be touched by cancer have been<br />
inspired to make a difference at <strong>LivingWell</strong> with<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir gifts of service or financial support.<br />
Toge<strong>the</strong>r, we have been<br />
able to make <strong>LivingWell</strong> a<br />
haven for those who need<br />
it, a refuge where those<br />
impacted by cancer find<br />
comfort, support, and <strong>the</strong><br />
strength to face a cancer<br />
diagnosis, treatment and <strong>the</strong><br />
rest of <strong>the</strong>ir life. You have<br />
been part of <strong>the</strong> wonderful<br />
team that allows <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
to work in <strong>the</strong> lives of those<br />
who need it most. Our<br />
dedicated board of directors,<br />
caring staff, incredible<br />
volunteer base, sustaining<br />
community partnerships<br />
and generous donors make<br />
all we do possible.<br />
As you read <strong>the</strong> stories inside, you are bearing<br />
witness to a story unfolding. It is a snapshot, a<br />
picture of a growing organization reaching to<br />
find its full potential, inspired by those it serves<br />
and those compelled to help us serve, committed<br />
to <strong>the</strong> mission of helping those touched by<br />
cancer live well in <strong>the</strong> face of challenge. Thank<br />
you for coming along on our journey.<br />
Sincerely,<br />

Local Businessman Gives Back<br />
Mike Mendel of Mendel Plumbing and Heating<br />
in St. Charles doesn’t think of himself as a hero,<br />
but <strong>the</strong> many that receive support and education<br />
services free of charge at <strong>LivingWell</strong> might beg<br />
to differ. Mike was <strong>the</strong> grand prize winner of<br />
this year’s Delnor Men’s Foundation Drive for<br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> Wellness, which gave him <strong>the</strong> choice of<br />
a luxury Mercedes or $25,000 in cash. Instead,<br />
he chose a third option: in an unprecedented<br />
move, he donated <strong>the</strong> cash prize back to <strong>LivingWell</strong>,<br />
which is <strong>the</strong> beneficiary of <strong>the</strong> raffle<br />
proceeds.<br />
It was an act of generosity that was planned<br />
from <strong>the</strong> start. “He has purchased tickets for<br />
several years and has always indicated on his<br />
ticket that he would like to donate ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> car,<br />
or in this case <strong>the</strong> cash prize, back to <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
if he won,” says Men’s Foundation Drive for<br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> Wellness event chair and board member<br />
Joe Faron. “We just never imagined that it<br />
might actually happen.”<br />
Mike on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, was certain of it. “I<br />
just had a feeling that I was going to win this<br />
year,” he says. “Call it a hunch, but I thought<br />
I would have <strong>the</strong> winning ticket. After I won,<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs told me I should play <strong>the</strong> lottery!”<br />
He jokes, but at <strong>the</strong> same time believes in visualizing<br />
success. He has attended leadership training<br />
sessions that encourage you to write down<br />
your goals in advance. “After I won, I went<br />
back and realized that I had written down, ‘win<br />
<strong>the</strong> Drive for <strong>Cancer</strong> Wellness raffle this year,’<br />
some months before it actually happened,” he<br />
says. “I can’t tell you how good I felt to know<br />
that in this case it will benefit such an important<br />
organization.”<br />
Mike, who says he has not been touched personally<br />
by cancer, says that he felt that <strong>the</strong> services<br />
provided by <strong>LivingWell</strong> were deserving of<br />
a grand show of support. “It is a special place,”<br />
he says. “We were fortunate to be able to help<br />
<strong>the</strong> organization by donating plumbing work<br />
when <strong>the</strong> kitchen was put in during <strong>the</strong> center’s<br />
opening, so I just saw this as a way to do more<br />
of <strong>the</strong> same.”<br />
While attending a recent Delnor Donor Dinner,<br />
Mike met o<strong>the</strong>rs that had made similar gifts.<br />
There, he heard about <strong>the</strong> importance families<br />
touched by cancer place on support. “I have<br />
been lucky not to have experienced cancer firsthand,<br />
but that doesn’t mean it is not important<br />
to help those who have.”<br />

Family Faces <strong>Cancer</strong> Toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
According to St. Charles resident Linda Abendroth,<br />
her breast cancer diagnosis in <strong>the</strong> spring of<br />
2007 was difficult for <strong>the</strong> entire family to accept.<br />
“I wasn’t even sure how to tell our children, who<br />
were 13 and 16 years old at <strong>the</strong> time,” she says.<br />
“When we did, my son, who is <strong>the</strong> youngest, just<br />
cried. It was <strong>the</strong> day before his birthday and all he<br />
could think about was that <strong>the</strong>re was a chance that<br />
his mom could die.”<br />
The grief that he expressed was similar to <strong>the</strong><br />
reaction of her extended family. “My bro<strong>the</strong>r had<br />
lung cancer and died during surgery at age 47, <strong>the</strong><br />
exact same age that I was,” says Linda. “I think<br />
that my mo<strong>the</strong>r, and many o<strong>the</strong>r relatives, thought<br />
<strong>the</strong>y were going to lose me, too. That fear caused<br />
some of <strong>the</strong>m to pull away when I needed <strong>the</strong>m<br />
most.”<br />
Finding that support missing, Linda and her<br />
husband Dan visited <strong>LivingWell</strong> and immediately<br />
got involved. She started out in <strong>the</strong> breast cancer<br />
support group, and later tried Zumba Latin dancing,<br />
yoga, massage and Culinary Comforts, and he<br />
became a member of <strong>the</strong> Caregiver support group.<br />
“<strong>LivingWell</strong> also helped our kids deal with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
pain,” she says. “Our son, in particular, took part<br />
in <strong>the</strong> art <strong>the</strong>rapy class, and soon was helping out<br />
<strong>the</strong> younger participants <strong>the</strong>re. My daughter was<br />
part of <strong>the</strong> Varsity Colorguard for St. Charles East<br />
School that volunteers at and supports <strong>the</strong> center.”<br />
“It was a blessing to be around people that understood,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re was a kinship <strong>the</strong>re,” says Linda. “We<br />
all face <strong>the</strong> same kind of issues and we all learn<br />
from each o<strong>the</strong>r. At <strong>the</strong> core, death is a fear that<br />
we all have, and from that you begin to examine<br />
your fears, wishes and dreams for <strong>the</strong> time that<br />
you might have left. That is OK to share with<br />
those walking that same path.”<br />
Linda says that she also remembers what her<br />
doctor told her when she was first diagnosed. “I<br />
initially cried and told her that I was worried about<br />
my kids and how <strong>the</strong>y would react,” she says. “She<br />
told me that <strong>the</strong>y would take my lead, and that has<br />
been true. I have been fortunate to be able to take<br />
<strong>the</strong> lead of those at <strong>LivingWell</strong>, who have offered<br />
me hope and optimism.”<br />
Not that <strong>the</strong>re haven’t been challenges. Although<br />
Linda is currently in remission from her Stage II<br />
breast cancer, she had to undergo a year of rigorous<br />
treatment and her job was eliminated before<br />
she could return. She was also recently diagnosed<br />
with sarcoidosis, a chronic lung condition. Dan<br />
says that he also had psychological challenges to<br />
overcome in dealing with her illness.<br />
“Several years ago I suffered a bout with depression<br />
that was triggered by <strong>the</strong> loss of our family<br />
pet, who was a part of <strong>the</strong> family,” says Dan. “My<br />
real fear was that if I had trouble dealing with <strong>the</strong><br />
death of a dog, how was I going to deal with this?”<br />
He says that <strong>the</strong> way he was able to cope was <strong>the</strong><br />
connections he made in his <strong>LivingWell</strong> support<br />
group. “I knew that I needed to take care of myself<br />
so that I could be a support to her, and having<br />
<strong>the</strong>m in my corner helped me to do that. Because<br />
I was <strong>the</strong> only man in my particular group I think<br />
that I was able to give o<strong>the</strong>rs a different perspective<br />
as well, and helping o<strong>the</strong>rs helped me.”<br />
For <strong>the</strong> family, healing has taken many forms.<br />
Linda spent hours volunteering for <strong>the</strong> <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
Bridge Walk, and made presentations at area high<br />
schools and businesses to raise funds for <strong>the</strong><br />
event. “It was a way to give back, and it was very<br />
fulfilling for me to be able to help,” she says.<br />
And <strong>the</strong> couple is dancing again. “We missed<br />
it,” says Linda. “We used to go out and dance<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r frequently, but my illness stopped all<br />
that. Now we are picking up where we left off.”

<strong>Cancer</strong> Survivors Find Comfort Moving Forward<br />
Yoga stretches <strong>the</strong> muscles just like a cancer diagnosis<br />
stretches your inner strength, something<br />
that Sugar Grove resident Margaret Hilger and<br />
Geneva resident Mary Ann Sturn have discovered<br />
as members of <strong>LivingWell</strong>’s Yoga class.<br />
“We have a wonderful teacher, and <strong>the</strong> movement<br />
just feels great,” says Margaret. “The<br />
group has also formed a tight bond, meeting<br />
regularly in <strong>the</strong> <strong>LivingWell</strong> kitchen for coffee<br />
and homemade treats. “We also will go out for<br />
lunch after class, or just talk…it is a good place<br />
to get rid of your troubles.”<br />
Margaret knows a few things about troubling<br />
times. She says that after being diagnosed with<br />
colon cancer some years ago, she learned just<br />
how isolating <strong>the</strong> disease can be. “At <strong>the</strong> time<br />
<strong>the</strong>re was nothing out <strong>the</strong>re like <strong>LivingWell</strong>; it<br />
would have made a world of difference,” she<br />
says. “Instead I became very sad, depressed<br />
and lonely.”<br />
Since <strong>LivingWell</strong> opened <strong>the</strong>ir doors in September<br />
of 2005, “I have attended <strong>the</strong> support<br />
groups, yoga, Women on Weights and Culinary<br />
Comforts, and what I have found is that people<br />
who have lived through cancer nearly always<br />
have an immediate bond,” says Margaret. “We<br />
are <strong>the</strong>re for each o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Finding those connections has been nearly as<br />
triumphant for Margaret as surviving cancer.<br />
“They didn’t give me much of a chance of making<br />
it at <strong>the</strong> time, <strong>the</strong>y were sure that it was going<br />
to come back,” she says. “It took radiation<br />
treatment, a year and a half of chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy<br />
and physical <strong>the</strong>rapy to recover, but today I am<br />
cancer free.”<br />
For fellow yoga class member Mary Ann Sturn,<br />
her tactic for dealing with her breast cancer<br />
diagnosis was simple: “I tried to put it to <strong>the</strong><br />
back of mind and not think about it,” she says.<br />
“I still do that to some extent now.”<br />
The difference is that she has <strong>the</strong> help of <strong>the</strong><br />
friends she has met at <strong>LivingWell</strong> to help her<br />
focus on optimism and move forward. “The<br />
people <strong>the</strong>re are wonderful, and <strong>the</strong>re is no<br />
doubt that just being <strong>the</strong>re helps me tremendously,”<br />
Maryann says. “I would encourage<br />
anyone who does not want to face <strong>the</strong>ir diagnosis<br />
to simply give <strong>LivingWell</strong> a try, see what<br />
comradery <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>the</strong>re.”<br />
Both women have participated in <strong>the</strong> <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
Bridge Walk as well. “We walked <strong>the</strong> first one<br />
and have volunteered to work at <strong>the</strong> event all<br />
three years,” says Sturn. “It is because of what<br />
we have been given that we want to give back.”<br />
moving forward
Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Help Each O<strong>the</strong>r at <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
Geneva resident Russell Witek thinks of Living-<br />
Well <strong>the</strong> way some people think of Las Vegas.<br />
“What you say at <strong>LivingWell</strong>, stays at <strong>LivingWell</strong>,”<br />
he says. “It is a place where you can express<br />
yourself…I go <strong>the</strong>re as much as possible.”<br />
Fourteen-year-old Russell was diagnosed with<br />
acute lymphocytic leukemia a day shy of his<br />
fourth birthday. Pale and tired, he was initially<br />
admitted to Children’s Memorial Hospital in<br />
Chicago with all of <strong>the</strong> symptoms of a low red<br />
blood count. “He had been a ring bearer in his<br />
uncle’s wedding <strong>the</strong> day before and had to be<br />
bribed down <strong>the</strong> aisle with licorice,” his mom<br />
Karen remembers.<br />
While chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy initially put <strong>the</strong> leukemia in<br />
remission, Russell did have a relapse that required<br />
a stem cell transplant. Even so, by <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong><br />
summer of 2001 <strong>the</strong> seven-year-old was playing<br />
soccer and baseball, and in 2005 celebrated five<br />
years of being cancer free.<br />
Unfortunately, <strong>the</strong> reprieve would not last. His<br />
now eighteen-year-old bro<strong>the</strong>r Garrett remembers<br />
when <strong>the</strong> family learned that <strong>the</strong> sinus<br />
infections, dizziness and headaches that Russell<br />
experienced in <strong>the</strong> summer of 2007 were due to<br />
a brain tumor. “My mom and I were on a youth<br />
group trip in Wisconsin when we first heard, she<br />
went back and I stayed on…but it was hard to<br />
think of much else after that point.”<br />
Russell had brain surgery to remove <strong>the</strong> tumor, but<br />
had to have ano<strong>the</strong>r surgery this summer when it<br />
re-grew. “I wasn’t angry, but just impatient,” he<br />
says. “When I found out it was back all I wanted<br />
to do was to hurry up and get rid of it again.”<br />
According to Russell and Garrett, nei<strong>the</strong>r spend a<br />
lot of time dwelling on cancer outside of Living-<br />
Well. There, <strong>the</strong> two attend art classes, and<br />
Russell participates in several support groups.<br />
“The people <strong>the</strong>re understand,” says Russell. “If<br />
you haven’t had cancer you might get some of it,<br />
but is it hard to really relate unless you’ve been<br />
through it yourself.”<br />
For Garrett, <strong>LivingWell</strong> has also been a place<br />
to be understood. “One of <strong>the</strong> hardest things<br />
that I’ve ever done was walk into <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> first time, because I didn’t think I needed to<br />
talk about it. I wasn’t sure I wanted to express<br />
myself,” he remembers, saying it was his mom<br />
that encouraged him to go. “What I learned<br />
is that what <strong>LivingWell</strong> does best is help those<br />
who don’t think that <strong>the</strong>y need help. Sometimes,<br />
mom does know best after all, and you can quote<br />
me on that.”<br />
The two bro<strong>the</strong>rs are close, so it makes sense<br />
that <strong>LivingWell</strong> has become something <strong>the</strong>y do<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r. “We shared a bedroom for 13 years,<br />
so I guess that means we get along,” Garrett says<br />
with a smile, giving his bro<strong>the</strong>r a playful kick at<br />
<strong>the</strong> same time. “The fact that he has had cancer<br />
has definitely changed me, and I know it will<br />
affect <strong>the</strong> choices I make my whole life through.<br />
When I am with o<strong>the</strong>r family members at Living-<br />
Well, it’s obvious that is <strong>the</strong> case with <strong>the</strong>m as<br />
well.”<br />
When you ask about <strong>the</strong>ir academic interests,<br />
Russell shares that his favorite school subject<br />
is Christian history—while Garrett is currently<br />
taking a college-level sign-language interpreting<br />
class that he favors. But both of <strong>the</strong> boys agree<br />
about one thing: <strong>the</strong> value of <strong>LivingWell</strong> for<br />
support. “I would just challenge those with<br />
cancer to try it once if <strong>the</strong>y are not sure,” says<br />
Russell. “They will feel at home <strong>the</strong>re, I know<br />
<strong>the</strong>y will.”
Nurse and Volunteer Makes <strong>LivingWell</strong> a Mission<br />
St. Charles resident Mary Therese Berg, better<br />
known to her friends and colleagues as MT,<br />
spent years of her life working as a pediatric oncology<br />
nurse at Rush University Health System,<br />
and as a clinician in charge of coordinating chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy<br />
home infusion for cancer patients.<br />
It was only as her kids grew to be elementaryschool<br />
age that she considered spending that<br />
professional time volunteering closer to home.<br />
“No one in my own family has had cancer, but I<br />
have a passion for those who are struggling with<br />
<strong>the</strong> disease, and for <strong>the</strong>ir families,” says MT.<br />
“Too often <strong>the</strong> caregivers get overlooked, and<br />
unfortunately cancer is a family experience.”<br />
When she began looking for an outlet for her<br />
experience and interest, <strong>LivingWell</strong> was a dream<br />
about to be built. “I met Sue Mielke, one of<br />
<strong>the</strong> founding board members of <strong>LivingWell</strong>,<br />
and she asked me to consider becoming part of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir Professional Advisory Board,” says MT.<br />
“At that point everything clicked.”<br />
She quickly became deeply involved, from<br />
working to develop <strong>the</strong> first clinical pathways<br />
for those who visit <strong>LivingWell</strong> seeking support,<br />
to helping co-facilitate <strong>the</strong> teen support<br />
and parent support groups. “It was so fulfilling<br />
to be able to join <strong>LivingWell</strong> when it was just<br />
getting started, and to have <strong>the</strong> opportunity,<br />
almost immediately, to put programs in place<br />
that touch lives.” Today MT is a new <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
board member and also facilitates its Parenting<br />
Through <strong>Cancer</strong> network breakfast.<br />
The experiences she was having at <strong>LivingWell</strong><br />
quickly reached out and touched <strong>the</strong> lives of her<br />
own family. “My husband, who is an anes<strong>the</strong>siologist,<br />
has always been very supportive of<br />
whatever I do, and he knows that oncology is<br />
my thing,” says MT. “For my 40 th birthday he<br />
threw a party for me with <strong>the</strong> band that performed<br />
at our wedding, and asked guests to<br />
support <strong>LivingWell</strong> in lieu of giving gifts…he<br />
knows how important <strong>the</strong> organization is to me.<br />
We raised $2300 for <strong>LivingWell</strong> that night.”<br />
Her children have caught <strong>the</strong> spirit of Living-<br />
Well philanthropy as well. “They have donated<br />
proceeds of lemonade stand efforts,” says MT<br />
with a smile. “And <strong>the</strong>ir school donated funds<br />
from <strong>the</strong>ir book drive to <strong>LivingWell</strong> and my kids<br />
were able to bring that donation in <strong>the</strong>mselves.”<br />
The family also walks toge<strong>the</strong>r in <strong>the</strong> Living-<br />
Well Bridge Walk. MT was <strong>the</strong> chair of <strong>the</strong> second<br />
and third annual events, and has co-chaired<br />
it <strong>the</strong> last few years. “It is a lot of work, but<br />
rewarding work. On <strong>the</strong> day of <strong>the</strong> walk, which<br />
has always been beautiful, you look around and<br />
think that every moment you put into it was<br />
worth it.”<br />
