About My Campaign

Friends,

We invite you to contribute to NYU Langone Health/Perlmutter Cancer Center in memory of Mary Shannon Little.

Mary was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was a young wife with 2 baby girls, a blossoming career and everything to live for. Mary did live! She lived life to the very fullest. Despite having metastatic breast cancer for more than 20 years Mary was a true partner to her beloved husband Ed, raised her daughters, Genny and Bridget, saw them both married to wonderful husbands - Max and Jon, and enjoyed every moment with her dear grandson Theo.

Mary received her care at NYU Langone/Perlmutter Cancer Center. She participated in clinical trials testing new treatments for breast cancer and benefited from all of the services that the Perlmutter Cancer Center provides.

If you feel motivated to donate any amount, no matter the size, please do. Your gift would mean so much to Mary and her family -- and even more to so many others who depend on the work of NYU Langone/Perlmutter Cancer Center faculty and staff. Thank you for your support.

Edward Little, Genny Little and Bridget Little

Ruth Oratz, MD FACP
