Hello,

My name is Kira Porter. A year ago I was diagnosed with stage 1 pancreatic cancer. After my surgery to remove the cancerous cyst, I began chemotherapy only to have it all fall apart 2 months later. I developed blood clots and a pulmonary embolism forcing me to stop chemo. I prayed to God to help me know what to do next. How can I help my body to heal? The Lord answered my prayers! Two hours later I found Chris Wark of Chris Beat Cancer. Through his Square One anti-cancer program I have been able to heal and I am now 1 year post-surgery NED (no evidence of disease) and my tumor markers are in the normal ranges! I know that it is a miracle of God that I am well and I felt a tugging on my heart to do something to help other people going through a cancer battle. I found out about the Healing Strong support groups through Chris Wark and I am currently training to become a Healing Strong group leader in Santa Clarita, CA. The mission of Healing Strong is to connect, support, and educate individuals facing cancer and other diseases through strategies that help to rebuild the body, renew the soul and refresh the spirit through God's Word. The group will be meeting at Trinity Classical Academy once a month beginning in late August or early September of 2024. Mrs. Liz Caddow, a fellow Square One participant and cancer fighter will be co-leading the classes with me. I would like to be able to give those attending the group the participant guide as well as other books and resources that are available through the Healing Strong program. I will also be needing some supplies to get the group started such as marketing materials, table cloths, office supplies, money for snacks/refreshments, etc. If there is any amount that you can donate to help get the group started we would so appreciate it! We would also appreciate prayers for guidance and wisdom in starting this group as well as putting the word out for anyone who would like to volunteer as a helper on meeting days. Thank you and God bless you!
