Dedication
Susan Mortensen Turley was born in 1983 and lived 25 happy years with family while making friends across the world.
Shortly after her marriage to Justin Turley she was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer, and passed away less than 5 months later.
Through her brief fight with this disease, she continued to learn more about the meaning of life, the power of love and the importance of faith in God.
She also learned that the young adult cancer patient and their families have unique needs.
In memory of Susan and as an extension of her loving nature, those who love her have formed the Susan Mortensen Turley Foundation, dedicated to the support of young adult cancer patients and their families. All funds that are donated to this non-profit foundation will be granted to organizations to be used specifically to provide support, education and respite care for this unique group.
