ABOUT WALK BY FAITH
CARE. COMPASSION. COMMUNITY
Preserving a Legacy of Giving and Service
Walk by Faith was established in 2020 to honor the enduring legacy of Marian Elizabeth Atwater. Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 1996 and given just six months to live, Marian made the courageous decision to walk by faith, relying on her unwavering belief in God to empower her through the battle. Despite facing challenges, Marian remained dedicated to serving others, whether it be assisting the elderly, volunteering within her church and local community or offering solace to hospital patients in need. Marian peacefully passed away in 2001, but her spirit of generosity and selflessness will continue to thrive through the ongoing mission of Walk by Faith.
Walking by Faith, One Step at a Time
We uplift and support women through personalized
breast cancer support services
With the support of Wholeness Corporation, WBF offers holistic breast cancer services for women and caregivers. Our services include emotional support, free transportation, care and spiritual counseling, as well as nutrition and fitness programs. Our proactive approach and hands-on support provide individuals and families with the stability they need to navigate the uncertainties of cancer. We are committed to collaborating with volunteers, corporate partners, and local charities to ensure that our services are accessible to all, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Guided by the principle of walking by faith, not by sight , we choose faith over fear and are dedicated to assisting our community of patients, survivors, and caregivers in finding the inner strength to face their diagnosis with faith and courage. Through direct breast cancer support services, we aim to ensure that no woman walks alone.
