    We are heartbroken to share the passing of our dear friend and President Tommy Harrell. Tommy reminded us that kindness changes lives and that laughter always belongs in the room.

    His life fuels our resolve. We will continue this fight with even greater purpose, carrying his determination forward in every event, every partnership, and every step toward a cure.

    Goodbye, Tommy. And THANK YOU for your 27 years of service.
