The Young Professionals Expect Miracles group (YPEM) is proud to announce the appointment of three new Vice Presidents for the Boston and New York teams!

Expect Miracles Foundation is delighted to have welcomed five new members to its Board of Directors this year.

To celebrate, we’ll be spotlighting each new member with a Q&A series! This week, we’re featuring Clint Harris, Head of Wealth Management Platforms for Invesco US Wealth Management Intermediaries. Read below to hear more about Clint’s involvement with Expect Miracles and why he’s excited to take on this new role.  

This month, Expect Miracles Foundation is excited to highlight another veteran staff member—our Development and Events Manager, Jaime Waldecker! From the Foundation's beginnings, Jaime has been an integral part of our organization. Her dedication to supporting the cancer community, and our mission, is an inspiration to us all.

Young adults have always been a unique segment of the cancer community. The obstacles they endure during and after cancer treatment are unique and specific to their age and life stage, and are still sorely under researched and underrepresented. Given our focus on the financial aftermath of young adult cancer, our team recently teamed up with Lauren V. Ghazal PhD, FNP-BC at the University of Michigan and Sheila J. Santacroce  PHD, RN, CPNP at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to examine the emergence of crowdfunding as a strategy for covering medical and other daily living expenses. Namely, we investigated the ways in which crowdfunding often causes and exacerbates stigma and magnifies feelings of shame, and questioned why it has become increasingly necessary, especially for cancer survivors.
