In 2017, our beloved Rama Moore lost her courageous battle with ovarian cancer after over 40 remarkable years with us. To keep her spirit alive, BEB came together in 2018 to participate in the MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Sprint for Life which included Rama’s granddaughter and son-in-law Kristin and Shannon Johnson. Our goal was to raise $1,000 and gather a team of 10 participants. Thanks to the overwhelming support of friends, families, and community, we raised over $2,000 with more than 30 participants, with some even traveling from Alaska to walk alongside us in Houston.
Inspired by that incredible response, we continued our mission by participating again in 2019. However, due to the challenges presented by recent years, we took a brief hiatus. Now, we are excited to announce that we are back and ready to honor not just Rama, but also Brenda Wiener McKnight. Angel Wiener has worked for BEB for over 25 years and faced her own heartbreaking loss when her mother, Brenda, succumbed to ovarian cancer on March 13, 2021.
This year, we are assembling a team to walk, raise funds, and pay tribute to these remarkable women who fought bravely against this disease that affects so many. Join us in our efforts to make a difference in the lives of those touched by ovarian cancer.
Together, we can make a significant impact. Whether you choose to walk with us, donate, or spread the word, every contribution counts. Let’s unite in honor of Rama and Brenda, ensuring that their legacies continue to inspire hope and change.
