Athena Partners was founded by Trish May, a Seattle-area breast cancer survivor passionately committed to finding a cure to women's cancers. Trish's desire is driven by her personal experience with cancer. She lost her mother to ovarian cancer and she personally is a breast cancer survivor. She dedicates her efforts to all those who have been touched by cancer and to the pursuit of finding a cure.

Trish believes that each of us can make a difference as part of our everyday lives, and together, we can have a significant impact on accelerating progress in the search for a cure. Trish draws upon her marketing expertise, experience with cancer, and as a leader in the community to create initiatives that will raise awareness, support and education for the women's cancer cause.

The Athena Partners team is an incredibly talented group of individuals with communications, website design, distribution, marketing, medical resource, and project management expertise who make this effort possible. They are:

• Lynn Krueger
