This , we're celebrating a woman who turned a last whispered wish into a movement.
After 15 years of relentless service, co-founder Annette Leslie announced her retirement at the end of March. Over the past year, she has been thoughtfully working behind the scenes to prepare the foundation for this transition and ensure the mission continues to grow.
From the halls of the Texas Capitol & Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus to the cutting-edge research projects to caring for the kids and families in the fight, Annette's leadership has helped bridge the gap between grieving families and life-saving research.
Annette, THANK YOU feels small for the legacy you've built, but the lives you've impacted speak volumes. While we'll miss you, we are excited for the next chapter of the foundation and the mission to continue forward.
Enjoy the beach, see you at events, and thank you again! 🌊💛
