In March 2013, Kathy Liu and her husband received devastating news: their son, Joey, a fifth grader, was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer. The family immediately started looking for the best treatment options for Joey and traveled all over the country doing so. Sadly, after about a year and a half, Joey lost his battle with cancer and passed away on November 26, 2014 at the age of 10. Dealing with immense heartbreak, Kathy decided to turn the family’s tragedy into something positive, creating a nonprofit organization in memory of Joey called Joey’s Wings.
