Tanya W, 33
Ashland, OR
survivor of leukemia

"I have been facing cancer challenges for six and a half years now and one of the biggest ones has been trying to maintain my strength... Another challenge that I am facing as a cancer survivor is getting back into the world of the living and redefining my sense of 'normal' life. This is especially challenging because of the post-treatment side effects that I am experiencing that are inhibiting my ability to move forward in my life... Assistance from The SAMFund will enable me to move beyond the significant side effects of leukemia treatment.

My life goal is to be a good person, to be an active community member and leader. I started to pave that path when I hit a very large speed bump (cancer). I would like to get back onto that path with a 'clean slate' by repairing the side effects from treatment. It is my dream to strive ahead and write books, create art and use my many talents. I want to restart my life and thrive again!"
