Brenda is an artist herself and understands the power of movement art possesses. She believes that faith, homeopathic medicine, and a strong mind are the keys to surviving cancer.

Having been in remission, Marcy’s cancer returned in late 2016 when it ultimately took her life.

In addition to being the founder and motivating force behind Cancer Below the Belt, Kelly is a prominent interior designer working from Houston, Texas.
As he will attest, life has always been about process and ones reaction to it. When he was diagnosed with cancer, he brought this outlook with him to treatment, which he believes is crucial for survival. Not wanting others to receive the same stunning diagnoses, Kelly set out to create an awareness campaign whose sole purpose is to spread awareness, and bring the “ease” back into disease.
In addition to creating some of the world’s most stunning interiors for a diverse range of fiercely loyal clients, Kelly is always on the lookout for talent–encouraging creative people of all stripes to reach their full potential. This commissioned series of Cancer Portraits from up-and-coming artist Corey Scott is a perfect example of Kelly’s tireless advocacy.
