LEHI — A woman in Lehi is hosting a Pink Sync event where breast cancer patients can find community and be connected to mental health resources.in the middle of 2022. She said she felt extremely lonely while fighting cancer and going through long days of chemotherapy treatment.
"Time went on and I thought, 'You know what? I'm going to make an event where we can go, we can get support from each other and we can also have experts there to teach us how to handle emotional stress and mental health problems,'" Kapp said.
After calling several hospitals and searching for a location with no luck, a representative for Utah Valley Hospital in Provo told Kapp said they would love to host the event. Pink Sync will be held in the conference center of the Sorenson Building at the hospital located at 395 Cougar Boulevard. Kapp said many cancer patients feel lonely while going through treatment because their life has been turned upside down and they can't do the things they normally do. After treatment is finished, patients don't get to see the nurses and doctors they're used to seeing every day, so many are searching for someone who understands and this event helps fill that void.
The Pink Sync will have 10 vendors who sell specialized products such as clothes for those who have had mastectomies, an areola tattoo artist, survivor retreats, health care resources, wigs, emotional management programs and a house cleaning company that services homes of cancer patients for free.
