-
- History
In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Terrie Magro, co-founder of the Michael Magro Foundation.
Back in 2004, Terrie and her husband, Paul faced an unimaginable situation when not one, but both of their two young sons, were diagnosed with cancer. While their younger son Marc recovered, their older son Michael lost his battle with Leukemia at age thirteen, just months after being diagnosed.
During the tumultuous, emotional time their family faced during both their sons’ illnesses, Terrie and Paul also observed the enormous stress, strain and life disruptions other families of children with cancer were experiencing. Seeing a great need to help these families, Terrie and Paul’s hearts were moved to begin the The Michael Magro Foundation in 2005, with a mission “to better the lives of children with cancer, pediatric cancer survivors and their families, as well as other chronic pediatric illnesses.”
Terrie Magro will be joined by board member, Dawn Dardzinski and together, they will share their passion for the work of the Michael Magro Foundation and will discuss their hopes and vision for the foundation’s future.
