Values
Helping warriors find relief in the eye of the storm.
Nancy Shepard’s dedication to the fight against breast cancer began in the late 1990’s when a dear friend of hers went through the diagnosis.
“As I watched my friend Ellen navigate the physical and financial challenges of treatment, I realized how little support there was for her everyday responsibilities—caring for her home and children, grocery shopping and preparing meals, and getting to and from treatment and work. IWIN was created to help ease these burdens and more, so that individuals feel supported during treatment and can focus on their journey back to wellness.”
