Robin Rittenhouse quataert

Robin, Kate's sister, developed breast cancer at age 26 and sadly died 5 years later at 31.  This was 37 years ago.

Kate was already a doctoral student at the time of her death, and 2 things helped her through this time.

The first was that Robin had already accomplished so much, she was a counselor and helped teenagers through their life's problems.  She had a special knack, she perfected tough love before it became a buzz word. She knew when to be kind, when to be tough, when to laugh and when to show empathy. She needed to know that she made a difference before she died and the letters and visits came that made her realize that she had.

The second thing that helped Kate was that she was preparing to fight this foe, learning to fight breast cancer. Robin made a difference in our mission as well, a personal mission adds so much to the fight. 

We are looking forward to our first in human clinical imaging trials beginning at the end of 2023!
