Imagine facing a cancer diagnosis in the middle of your 20s, forced to grapple with the fear and uncertainty—as well as the bills—that accompany a life-threatening illness. Young and eager to start your life, a diagnosis renders you unprepared for the difficult financial road ahead. Imagine those same fears heightened tenfold by a global pandemic and an unprecedented economic downturn. This is the reality of young adult cancer survivors everywhere.
This month, Expect Miracles Foundation is extremely proud to showcase our very own Development & Events Coordinator Mary Keenan—a team member who has embodied the true mission of our foundation: to inspire hope in the face of disease.
After her cancer diagnosis in 2016, Mary has recently begun to share her story and speak about her unique journey. Most recently, she was featured on the Jimmy Fund Telethon where she spoke about her experience at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and her hopes for other young people facing a diagnosis.

We are thrilled to welcome TWO new staff members to Expect Miracles Foundation. Rachel Ayotte, Digital Marketing and Communications Coordinator, and Lauren Beimler, Events and Design Assistant, joined our team this week and we thought it was the perfect opportunity to kick off our new “Get To Know Us” blog series!
Expect Miracles Foundation is proud to announce the addition of nine new members to its Board of Directors in 2021. These leaders represent a range of industries and backgrounds and share a commitment to helping the Foundation thrive. Though their backgrounds are diverse, they share a vision for growth and impact.
