Diagnosed with cancer in 2003, Mary demonstrated extraordinary courage, grace, and an unwavering commitment to finding a cure. Her journey left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

Driven by a heartfelt desire to make a lasting difference, her son, Michael Weaver, founded the organization in her honor.
