Radiation Therapist, Entrepreneur, and Co-Founder of the Company ”Cards2Warriors” - Dawn Veselka
This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr Summer Watson welcomes Dawn Veselka, who is a radiation therapist and mom to an amazing teen. She spent 12 years of her professional career treating cancer patients, including a year at the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. When her daughter became ill at age 3, life took a turn in a completely unexpected direction. Over the past 15 years, she has witnessed (and experienced) the toll that living with a long-term illness can take on the patient, caregiver, siblings, and medical teams… and how the smallest gesture can have the biggest impact on an isolated, lonely person. So, in 2020, she co-founded "Cards2Warriors," a company that sends greeting cards filled with love, hope, and cheer to those living with long-term illnesses and their support teams! You can follow Dawn Veselka on Facebook and Instagram at cards2warriors and on LinkedIn at Dawn Veselka.
