DeAnna Wichmann
In 2010, Wichmann read about a Sage screening in her church bulletin. Because she was not working and had no health insurance coverage, Wichmann took advantage of the free examinations and was diagnosed with breast cancer. She began treatment at Minnesota Oncology’s Minneapolis Clinic, where she is currently under the care of Dr. Tim Larson. Her treatment included a lumpectomy and radiation.
The 49-year-old Minneapolis resident says she was thrilled to learn about Hope in Motion and the opportunity to celebrate survivorship. She will walk the 5K course with her friend in July. “I try to surround myself with positive people,” Wichmann says. “This is more of a celebration than a research fundraiser. I want to celebrate that I survived.”
