I would like to introduce you to HopeWorks, Inc., A Texas, Non-profit 501(C)(3) tax-exempt organization founded in 2001 to provide Breast Cancer Sufferers a Chance To Thrive.
Unlike some breast cancer organizations, our money goes directly to the patients’ needs – no monies are spent on research, political action committees or salaries.
At the age of 34, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. While no form of cancer is an “easy” diagnosis or process, I was lucky... I had great insurance and disability benefits.
Some patients are not as fortunate. Many who do not qualify for indigent care fall through the cracks; they have high deductibles and no disability benefits. Often times, a diagnosis of cancer is devastating not only physically, but also financially. Many wonder how they are going to make it through the process. This is where HopeWorks steps in and provides HOPE to those who are faced with so much uncertainty. Since our inception, we have raised over $175,000 to help people who find themselves in this situation.
With your participation, HopeWorks will continue to better the lives of those suffering from the affects of breast cancer – today.

Founder + Survivor
I FOUNDED HOPEWORKS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
In 2000, I was 34 years old and 6 months into a new marriage. One evening, I discovered a lump in my breast. Doctors initially thought the lump was benign, but it wasn't. I was never considered "high risk," yet I had breast cancer. I was too young, wasn't I? Outstanding resources, doctors, and friends supported me through those difficult months.
I very much appreciate my family and friends who continue to support and make a difference. Thanks to Paul Kenney, my brother-in-law, whose golf tournament suggestion sparked a new purpose for me.
