As a radiation oncologist at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Arpi Thukral often struggled to help her cancer patients find psycho-social support, exercise programs and nutrition resources. “That’s when I first had found out about Wellness House,” she said. Thukral is serving as co-chair of this year’s Walk for Wellness House on Sunday, May 5.

She also participated in her first walk the year after she lost her uncle to leukemia.
