Our mission is to make sure the legacy of my loving mother, Betty Wood, lives on. To use the struggle and pain she faced in her fight against Breast Cancer as a symbol to put an ending to this horrible disease.

Thank you to everyone out there raising money and awareness to help the Komen Foundation in the battle against Breast Cancer. All those that have passed away and have survived this disease are the inspiration to finding a cure.

All of you have created a new relationship between my two daughters and my two sons with their Nana, Betty Wood. This proves death ends a life, not a relationship.

I know my mother is the light at the end of the tunnel to where the cure for Breast Cancer waits for us all. Let’s find a cure together!
