- Sir Winston Churchill Julie Ann Carpenter passed away on February 20, 2009 after a courageous four-year battle with breast cancer. Her condition was caused by a hereditary genetic mutation (BRCA 1). She died at the age of 46. Julie's search for effective treatments for this terrible disease led her to gather a great deal of research about various current treatments and potential breakthroughs. She traveled to various scientific and medical conferences in order to learn the latest news. Beyond fighting her own battle, Julie became very involved in the greater breast cancer community. She was active on a number of internet forums, where she encouraged others who were also seeking more information, and she shared her knowledge selflessly with her Sister Warriors fighting for a cure. The Julie Ann Carpenter Memorial Fund has been created in order to continue Julie's mission to gather and share cutting edge information about breast cancer. The goal will be to create an endowment that will generate funds each year that will be used to offset travel costs for women who have breast cancer who wish to attend various scientific and medical conferences. The only stipulation is that recipients must be willing to serve as resources to their community, share the knowledge gained, and make available any materials from the conference. Donations are now being accepted to fund the endowment, with the goal of being able to begin assisting breast cancer victims starting in 2010. Pasadena Community Foundation (indicate Julie Ann Carpenter Memorial Fund in memo line) 260 S. Los Robles Ave. #119 Pasadena, CA 91101 Donations are tax deductible and a gift receipt will be provided. |
