More than 2,500 walkers are expected to participate in the Bridge Walk, which will take place along the Fox River on May 18, with the objective of raising $275,000.  All
proceeds go to fund the more than 60 programs and services offered free through the LivingWell Cancer Resource Center, a community-based, not-for-profit
facility.  As the only comprehensive cancer care
resource available in the western suburbs, LivingWell  is serving the needs of more than 12,500 people, providing services that encourage, educate and emotionally support
people living with cancer, as well as their family members, caretakers and friends. Living Well, which receives no federal or state funding, receives referral from 19 hospitals and 26 oncology practices.
