Lee is a twelve year survivor. When she was going through treatment, she felt there were things insurance wouldn't cover (hospital stays the night before surgery, lymph sleeves, some wigs). She was concerned other survivors would struggle with the financial stress of paying for these items during a time when they needed to focus on treatment and fighting cancer. She applied for a 501c3 and helped her first survivor in July 2014. She is passionate about helping and encouraging other survivors.
"God gave me the vision for Ohio Pink Ribbon Fund, and the board has given me the help and strength to do this."
