On October 22, 2024 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we welcomed Elissa Kalver to our campus to share her experiences with residents and supporters. At 34, she faced a Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer diagnosis, just before her daughter’s first birthday. Her fighting spirit wouldn’t let her sit back, or simply try to survive. During her fifth round of chemo, Elissa launched WeGotThis.org – the world’s first nonprofit cancer gift registry. WeGotThis.org provides a platform for cancer thrivers to comfortably request the items they really need, and gives their loved ones the chance to support them in a meaningful way.
