We would like to officially introduce Shelley Rodgers as the Program Director for Noah's Light Foundation. Shelley has years of non-profit experience and we cannot wait to see what she has in store for the organization. Her contribution to Noah's Light is no doubt altruistic and very much appreciated. Below is a message from Shelley herself:
I would like to formally introduce myself! My name is Shelley Rodgers and I joined the Noah’s Light Foundation family in the beginning of May as Program Director. I made the transition from Habitat for Humanity and could not be more excited to take this next step of my career with Noah’s Light Foundation.
When I first met Amber Larkin, I was immediately impressed with her for many reasons. It was clear that she was a very successful businesswoman, a hard worker, a very loving mother, and someone with a great deal of passion for this cause. I saw that with her involvement and drive, Noah’s Light Foundation could be nothing short of successful in spreading awareness of pediatric cancers and ultimately working towards a cure. The mission of this organization is so powerful, and more importantly, so necessary.
I must admit, before meeting the Larkin family, I was fairly uninformed when it came to pediatric brain and spinal cord cancers. While it is something I had heard of, I didn’t realize the reality being faced by the affected children and their families. The incidence of this cancer is growing rapidly every year and not enough is being done to stop it. It is our mission to shine light on this issue and make people more aware of the lack of resources being committed to finding a cure. This lack of resources is an outrage and a tragedy, and I, along with the Larkin family and Noah’s Light, am committed to changing it.
Upon meeting Noah, I immediately thought to myself “Wow, what an amazing little boy!” He has been incredibly tough and gracious throughout his fight against one of the most unimaginable hardships that a child could ever face, and he is truly inspiring. It is people like Noah, Dennis, and Amber who will change the world. I am grateful to them that I get to be a part of it.
From everyone at Noah’s Light Foundation, thank you for all of your support! We can win this fight!
Everyone here at Noah’s Light is definitely looking forward to all that Shelley has planned. Visit our website to find out more information and ways to help. You can also follow us on Twitter and connect with us on Facebook!
