Her mom spent her life caring for others. Then came the cancer diagnosis.

Whitney Harmon’s mother was a hospice nurse. When she needed care, her family stepped in. Whitney credits immunotherapy research and her mother’s care team with giving them something they will never take for granted: more time together.

More birthdays. More memories.

For Claire Phillips, the mission is just as personal. Her husband battled glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Today, she honors his life by supporting the research that gave him and others hope.

Two women. Two deeply personal reasons to move medical research forward.

Watch Claire and Whitney share the “why” behind their commitment to The Cary Council and early-stage research at UT Southwestern.

Who is your why?
