Women of Wonder
Women of Wonder is a charitable group operating under the auspices of the University Park United Methodist Church that provides opportunities for women with metastatic cancer to fulfill their bucket list wishes.
All of the women of WOW are in stage four cancer in various stages of treatment. Stage four means that cancer has moved to different parts of their bodies. Metastatic cancer is not curable; however, many live with hope of a bright future when it is curable and try to live each day to the fullest.
Many of our members are challenged financially because they are not able to work and need outside help in their daily lives. Each woman has a "bucket list" or a list of experiences they would love to have while well enough to enjoy them. WOW provides the funds for women to fulfill these wishes. WOW sponsors outings based on the women's bucket lists. WOW provides a much needed break from life and death routines.
