Quotes from participants
"It’s a time to just exist with folks who know what you’ve gone through. You can talk about it if that’s what you need, but there is no pressure. We all just know."
The WCK group is a fabulous group of individuals that genuinely is making a huge difference in the lives of cancer survivors. The atmosphere, inclusivity, and overall thoughtfulness for all of us remind us how important it is to be with those who we share such a big part of ourselves with. I love that WCK has made such a big impact on this community. This program has made me feel empowered to make changes in my life. I have experienced kindness and empathy that I’ve never seen anywhere else. Loved it. Everyone is so nice and made me feel comfortable despite feeling nervous beforehand and I had a lot of fun. It’s a time to just exist with folks who know what you’ve gone through." - Optional: A link to a webpage/document, etc.: https://wckfoundation.ca/programs/teen-programs/the-club/
