LAKEPORT>> This year’s event was held at the Xabatin Community Park Amphitheater in Lakeport on Saturday October 5, where over 400 people all ages took part. Enstablished in 1996, Sponsoring Survivorship began its supporting efforts when founder Julie Kelley, a marathon runner, faced the challenge of her mother Darla Petranek’s breast cancer diagnosis. Petranek was given a mere 5 percent chance of survival but pulled through.
According to their website, https://sponsoringsurvivorship.com/, Sponsoring Survivorship has helped over 105 men and women in Lake County financially and emotionally with the dream to help hundreds more. Sponsoring Survivorship was established to help local women and men cover costs associated with their struggle against breast cancer. Financial assistance is available to women and men through Sponsoring Survivorship who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in Lake County CA.
If you are someone you love is in need of special assistance associated with cancer treatment or other costs directly associated with your/their cancer treatment, please visit the website or contact the nonprofit via email at sponsoringsurvivorshiplc@gmail.com.
