Cancer is far too pervasive in our lives today.  There is no better way to cope with an unwelcome diagnosis than to know that there is a safe haven, The Wellness Community – Greater DC on Grosvenor Lane in Bethesda, www.wellnesscommunitydc.org.  On April 9, Spring 4th with Hope, the fourth such gala took place at the International Monetary Fund.  Everyone attending had a reason, some of loss but ever so many of hope.  Wellness Community helps the entire family by providing most needed support to patients and caregivers in a welcoming, non-medical environment.  The evening celebrated Susie Dyer, a cancer survivor, philanthropist and volunteer with the Celebration of Hope Award and Jill Ward of Whole Foods Bethesda with the new Partnership Award as a leader in natural and organic foods.
