Well of Support

There's almost nothing as debilitating as cancer. For local director Aaron Wells, learning he had the disease was a call to action. "The minute I was diagnosed I knew I had to do something. So I'm documenting my experiences (good, bad, and ugly) in hopes of helping others in my situation and to bring awareness to chronic problems in our health care system that affect us all," Wells says. "I will beat cancer, with the REC light on every step of the way."
