ST&BF at the Christopher Farm & Gardens “Hope Grows Here” Project Update!

The “Hope Grows Here” Project has grown from a seed planted by cancer survivor Kirstin Opgenorth who spoke at the 2025 SCCCF National Cancer Survivor’s Day. The wonderful folks at the Christopher Farm & Gardens have since provided nutrient-rich soil along with lots of sunlight and water as this tiny seed is beginning to take root and grow into a special “Secret Garden” that will grow hope and healing for area cancer patients/survivors!

We need more hands to nurture and tend to the growth of the “Hope Grows Here” Project.

Watch this Local Cancer Community Update for details or contact Tim to get involved as we will be involved in various aspects of the project!
