Cancer knows no
boundaries

 

It can affect
anyone
at any age

 

Yet, there is

Hope

as the frontiers
of medicine
are extended

every day

The Garden of Hope is being built as a memorial to those who have died of cancer and to those who have survived the disease. Located on the north side of Sunrise Highway just west of Old Mill Road, the Garden of Hope will consist of an assortment of flowers and other foliage.

A section of the Garden will be dedicated to Norman Levy, the senator that fought hard to heighten awareness of breast cancer on Long Island. Another section will be dedicated to Mary Ellen Farrell, a beloved Wantagh teacher, who lost her battle with cancer.

The Long Island Planning Council (LIPC) is coordinating the Garden of Hope and would appreciate any donations of money, building supplies, foliage or good-old elbow grease. Please write or call for more information. Thanks.
