Established in 1982, The Wellness Community (TWC) is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free support, education and hope to people with cancer and their loved ones.  A walk through their website will find extensive resources for both patients dealing with cancer and those that join them in their struggle.  Links to professionally-led support groups, educational workshops, nutrition and exercise programs are only some of the many tools available online.

The Wellness Community will be regularly contributing articles for publication here at www.tugmcgraw.org, sharing their expertise in areas such as education, nutrition, and exercise to strengthen and support those caregivers and families touched by cancer.

“We are always excited about the possibility of new partnerships,” said Jennifer Brusstar, president and CEO of the Tug McGraw Foundation, “and this is just a wonderful fit for us.  The Wellness Community  has been a dedicated source of information and support to the cancer community for many years, and we are thrilled that we have the opportunity to work together in providing quality tools, ideas, and resources with the caregiving population.”

Recognizing that greater progress can be made through collaboration, it is always special to find those that share the same vision in the fight to improve the quality of life for both the patient and the caregiver.  In working together with The Wellness Community, we look forward to better serving this mission through working together.

“Tug’s ‘Ya Gotta Believe’ motto captures the spirit and strength of The Wellness Community and its programs for anyone whose life is touched by cancer,” said Paula Hardison, the executive director of The Wellness Community.  “Our upcoming monthly column on cancer caregivers will feature a message filled with support, education, courage, and hope.  What a joy to build this natural partnership between the Tug McGraw Foundation and The Wellness Community – two organizations that care so deeply and are so committed to helping others thrive through cancer and beyond.”
