Over 3,000 people came together at the annual Walk for Wellness House held on May 5 to help support cancer survivors, families, and friends.

The day was filled with encouragement, hope and community as runners and walkers took to the pavement in the streets surrounding Wellness House’s main location in Hinsdale, raising over $750,000.

Funds raised will help support free programs where individuals and family members can choose from over 500 programs a month in areas such as nutrition, exercise, support and counseling, child and family support. Donations are still being accepted at wellnesshouse.org/walk.

Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”
