Squeezing the lemons of life with zest. Meet Deanna Wicklund, wife, mom, and President of the not-so-profit, Wicklund Warriors. The self-professed leader of the Bad Blood Club, she and her Board assist local families with blood cancer. Why? Because she is a blood cancer survivor. She is a 10yr leukemia, stem cell transplant survivor and the steward of other survivors' stories. "Give it to me, I can take it"
She now runs the Wicklund Warriors which is a 501c3 charity serving families in Albany, Columbia, Greene, Fulton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, and Washington counties battling blood cancers. They work directly with social workers in hospitals and cancer centers to identify clinically diagnosed Capital Region patients facing financial difficulty.
Get ready to be inspired in this episode and learn how she turned a drastic diagnosis into a gift to others.
