After losing my husband to brain cancer, I made it my mission to help find a cure. It has also become my mission to assist other patients and caregivers, going through that same journey, with everyday tasks, fears, and questions. Fred lost his battle, but my fight continues.

It is heartbreaking to know your patients need far more than what you or the healthcare system can provide. I am committed to building this local peer-to-peer community to help bridge that gap.
