Path of Hope
The Path of Hope Project is an attractively landscaped area with benches and inspiration plaques to help uplift and support the community.
Our desire is that the Path of Hope will make a difference in people’s lives. We believe this project will increase awareness about cancer survival and give hope. As a result, more members of our community will realize they have the strength and support to survive cancer.
About The Project
The Sitka Cancer Survivor’s Society, Inc. made a commitment to raise funds to landscape and improve the portion of Moller Park between the running track and Swan Lake to create an inspirational park. This has a special meaning to those who are facing cancer and has been structured in a way that can be enjoyed by all residents of Sitka.
The Path of Hope winds through an attractively landscaped area with benches and inspirational plaques that have been placed at intervals along the path. The inspirational plaques have brief, positive and empowering motivational messages composed to inspire and assist members of our community facing this disease and to embrace family members.
The Book of Hope is the focal point within the Path of Hope park, centrally located on a flagstone path. The Book of Hope is inscribed with Our Mission Statement and gives visitors our interpretation of what the park means to us. The books inspirational pages will appear to be scattered as if they have been blown around by the wind and have come to rest in specific places surrounding the Flame of Hope sculpture overlooking the park and Swan Lake. Our wish is for you to enjoy your visit and come back as often as you like.
In addition to the areas which are designed to uplift and inspire, we plan to designate a specific place to honor cancer survivors. It is our desire to help create a park that is enjoyed by the community and contributes to the quality of life in Sitka.
