Karen Wellington Foundation

Karen Wellington inspired so many people in the way that she continued to live her life during her ten year battle with breast cancer.  Even after her diagnosis at age 30, Karen continued to live her life to the fullest every day.   In her memory after her passing in 2007, her friends and family established The Karen Wellington Foundation for LIVING with Breast Cancer. 

To carry on her legacy, the Foundation honors women and families LIVING with breast cancer by sending them on vacations, relaxing spa days with a friend, lunch or nights out on the town.  We know there is a cure out there somewhere, but in the meantime, the Foundation gives women something fun to look forward to, often amid a calendar filled with doctor appointments, chemo treatments and surgeries.

The Foundation reminds everyone how important it is to take time to really appreciate LIVING.
