Maple Tree Cancer Alliance, which Dr. Karen Wonders founded and leads, comes alongside cancer patients to help them with exercise plans that aid their recovery. 

Dr. Wonders longed to make not just a difference in the health of her patients, but wanted to be able to point them to Christ, so she pursued a Master of Ministry degree from Cedarville.
