Kathleen Conner is the President of Angie’s Spa, a one-of-a-kind corporation that provides free spa services for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Kathleen is a cancer patient herself, also receiving chemotherapy.
Her hospital doesn’t provide the spa services that her organization does, but she spends her time fundraising, strategizing and marketing to reach her goal of opening up Angie’s Spa centers in hospitals throughout the country.
She works tirelessly to reach this so that other cancer patients don’t have to cope with chemotherapy un-pampered.
