The Walk for Wellness House steps off on Sunday in Hinsdale. Funds go to cancer support, including patients, caregivers and families, during and after cancer.
Doctor Arpi Thukral is this year’s “walk chair.” She came downtown to tell ABC7 about it.
As an oncologist Thukral, spoke about how important it is for cancer patients, and their families, to have support like this during their fight.
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. Touring the Hinsdale facility, coordinating the annual fundraising ball and joining the board of directors deepened her connection with the organization over the years. She also participated in her first walk the year after she lost her uncle to leukemia.
