 Laney Howell - FOunder
The Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation was founded in December, 2000, by Laney Howell.
Laney, who was born and grew up in Scotland Neck, N.C., moved to Hatteras village in 1996. Shortly after she arrived here, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery in early 1997, she went through 4 1/2 years of chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell replacement therapy. The Hatteras Grand Slam has implemented a tournament level in memory of Laney Howell. This will be a Women's Billfish Level, with proceeds to be awarded to the Level V Winner (1st Place Only) and the HICF. |
