WHO WE ARE

About Us

Our Mission

4 Years and A Day is a Foundation that focuses on Breast Cancer Awareness and the support of its victims. Our organization is based on the belief through education and providing options for health and total healing; individuals will empower their minds, bodies, and spirits. We are committed to meeting those needs and sharing the details of our experiences.

Our Story

Our foundation was created after the passing of beloved mothers, Lee E. Grimes and Patricia A. Bailey. Both women were diagnosed with breast cancer and their paths toward healing and recovery were strikingly similar. So much so, the timespan between their passing was exactly 4 Years and 1 Day apart from each other.

It is through their experience and love we tell our story of our journey with all of you. Because of our mothers' experience, we too are "victims" and our mission is to educate and support others in their fight.

More than anything, we hope sharing the story of our journey will inspire and uplift all of you to join our efforts and become more aware. With this in mind, we hope to spare more lives in the next 4 Years and 1 Day.

 

Why We Are Different

We are the voices of those who felt powerless while watching loved ones battle breast cancer. Our vantage point is different in that we cared and supported those we loved in their fight.

It is through that experience, we have researched and educated ourselves about viable options to healing and recovery. We wish to support those who are battling for their lives as an extra reinforcement in the war against breast cancer.
