HANSEN FAMILY

“You don’t think it could happen to one of your children. But Shirley, the oldest of our five daughters, died of breast cancer in her early thirties. Now we’re doing our part to find a cure and honor Shirley’s memory by giving to the James P. Wilmot Cancer Institute at URMC.

For the sake of our daughters and grandchildren, our family made an estate commitment, and it’s part of the legacy we’re creating together. We’re also committed to supporting cancer research currently underway, and plan family time every year to make those decisions. You can’t put these choices off , because it could be too late. We feel good about making a meaningful impact now and in the future—together as a family.”
