SEATTLE, Wash. (KING) — It can be a lonely walk when you've been diagnosed with cancer. That's why Linda Binder was roaming the grounds of Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Thursday afternoon.
"There are some patients where the fear is just more than they can handle," she said.
Linda embodies the opposite of fear: courage. On Thursday, she administered healthy doses to as many patients as possible.
Linda visited cancer patients at The Hutch, handing out paper cranes, symbols of wishes coming true.
"My wish is for the person who receives my cranes to be free from cancer now and forever," she said.
It all started at her home in Fort Collins, Colorado. Linda organized a fundraiser selling 1,500 cranes that she folded herself. She thought she might bring in $2,000. Instead she raised almost $10,000.
