Honoree's Remarks

I would like to recommend the book 'When Breath Becomes Air' in loving memory of my dear mother, who valiantly battled blood cancer and departed from us in May 2019. This profoundly moving memoir by Dr. Paul Kalanithi offers a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of life and the resilience of the human spirit. As a neurosurgeon diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, Dr. Kalanithi shares his personal journey from a healer to a patient with remarkable grace and wisdom. This book serves as a beautiful tribute to my mother, commemorating her unwavering strength and resilience in the face of life's most formidable challenges. It also extends a comforting hand to all who have confronted similar adversities.
