Elizabeth turner - advocacy chair
Meet Liz
Elizabeth is the bereaved mother of David Turner Jr.
In 2018 her son David Jr was diagnosed with DIPG and the 8th wedding anniversary of his parents David and Elizabeth. David Jr lived with DIPG for 3 years, 1 month and 4 days. He advocated at the state and federal level for children like him to have better access to care and treatment to cure childhood cancer.
Elizabeth was appointed to the Kentucky Pediatric Cancer Research Trust fund in 2021 by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. Elizabeth is currently serving her second term as Board President.
David Jr made it his mission to #makeeverydaythebestdayever and his parents continue this mission in his memory.
