The 2022 Zoo Walk Was A Success!
Despite the weather, we had a wonderful turnout.
Thanks to all who volunteered, walked, and donated.
We couldn't have done it without you!

The highlight for 2018 was the awarding of a $1.5M Early-detection research grant by the Department of Defense (DOD) to Dr. Sophia George of the University of Miami. You will recall that the Belinda Sue Fund, in partnership with the Mary Jane Welker Foundation, co-funded Dr. George a seed grant in the amount of $50,000 in 2016.
Her amazing work resulted in the DOD grant awarded in 2018! Achieving this milestone in our mission to provide significant financial funding, focused on early-detection research, is extremely gratifying!

GOAL MET!!

We co-funded the grant with Patrick Welker who lost his wife, Mary-Jane, to Ovarian Cancer. The deserving researcher, Dr. Sophia George of the University of Miami, was awarded the grant at FWC's Annual Meeting in San Diego in March 2016
