A little more about our beneficiary: ***For those of you who don't know— The Ray of Hope Cancer Foundation was established in 2002 by oncologist Dr. David Schrier in memory of his patient, Ray Wentz—a courageous teen with a bright smile and twinkle in his eye, who inspired those around him with his bravery and grace. As he received treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, he and his teenage sister, who were living on their own, struggled to pay rent and buy food. The work we do today allows his positivity and light to shine on. THEIR MISSION: To respond to the urgent needs of Coloradans with cancer by providing financial assistance with dignity and humanity. THEIR VISION: That no Colorado cancer patient in need goes without support ***See this link https://rayofhopecolorado.org for more information on the PHENOMENAL work they are doing! Lover. Dreamer.

YogaTeacher. + Artist in the lovely state of Colorado that loves to raise funding/awareness for underserved communities.
