Wendy has a background in Finance with the State of Georgia and is also an Associate Broker with RE/MAX Town & Country. When I was much younger, my mom was diagnosed with colon and then liver cancer. My parents did not have medical insurance during this time. My dad tried to get help through a cancer agency and they would not help them at all. So, I saw first hand how expensive it is for treatments and having no where to turn to for help. Years later I lost my dad to lung cancer. Cancer Connections is very close to my heart.
