Mark O’Neill to make return appearance at Cancer Support Group

Published 10:00 am Friday, November 2, 2012

The Cancer Support Group will welcome Mark O’Neill as a guest speaker at its Nov. 8 meeting.

For those who missed him at the October meeting, now is the chance to hear this “outstanding speaker and great personality,” say organizers.

When O’Neill appeared at the October meeting, he had so much to share that he was invited back. His story of remarkable survivorship, athletic exploits and training of the disabled was featured in the Islands’ Sounder’s “pink” issue on Oct. 17.

O’Neill  has many stories of his journey from a very rare form of cancer to a life abundantly lived.

The support group meets on the second Thursday of each month. It is open to all in the community whose lives have been touched by this disease.

This is a confidential no-cost meeting where everyone is invited to share and support each other along each individual journey.

The Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. in the Fireside Room of Orcas Island Community Church. For more information, call Bogdan or Carol at 376-4198.
