Battling both breast and brain cancer, Central Bucks educator and Doylestown mom Corinne Sikora had a vision for a place for cancer patients to turn to for free emotional and physical support.
Since her death in November, the community rallied behind her dream, raising enough support to create the Corinne Sikora Wellness and Support Center. The 5,000 square-foot cancer center, slated to open at the Heritage Center in Buckingham this fall, will offer free non-medical emotional, physical, social and lifestyle services.
"The center will welcome anyone battling cancer, regardless of where they are receiving treatment, along with their family and caregivers," said Keith Fenimore, executive director and founder of Pine2Pink, a local nonprofit that with Green Street Real Estate pledged $200,000 to help launch the center. "This center is not in Corinne's memory; it's because of Corinne's vision. She's part of it. She's in it."
