On Sunday, Oct. 22, members of Sid Jacobson JCC and the surrounding community participated in the JCC’s annual Stronger Than Cancer 5K in East Hills, which raised more than $314,000 for the Nancy Marks Cancer Wellness Center, a record amount.
The Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center’s specialists seek to improve the well-being of those affected by cancer.
Emotionally, the center provides support services such as discussion groups, a writing group, short-term individual counseling, and information and referral services for survivors and their families. In addition to our general cancer discussion group, the center has targeted discussion groups that focus on specific populations, including breast and gynecologic cancer survivors currently in treatment, caregivers, male cancer survivors, and survivors of metastatic, advanced, or recurrent cancer.
