Dream Foundation grants patient’s bucket-list trip to Maine
Throughout their 26-year marriage, Rick Flowers has joked with his wife about a bucket-list trip to Maine — to eat their way up the coast. Recently, thanks to Dream Foundation, they did just that.
Rick, who regularly receives infusion treatments at the RUSH Copley Cancer Care Center in Yorkville, was diagnosed nearly a year ago with a brain tumor. At that time, his wife, Wendy, began researching resources and discovered Dream Foundation, which serves terminally ill adults and their families. Yorkville outpatient oncology nurse Becky Buttrum, BSN, RN, was familiar with the program and encouraged Rick to apply.
