Lori DeVore is proud to become a member of the American Cancer Society Board of Directors!

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:33:00 GMT

On Thursday, January 28th, Lori DeVore, President and CEO of DeVore Technologies was pleased to be sworn in as a member of the American Cancer Society Cuyahoga Unit Board of Directors. The Society has raised money for cancer research on both a local and national level. The ACS is dedicated, not only to educating the public on cancer, but also providing support for those who suffer from this disease.

Ms. DeVore has long been a supporter of the ACS and has been active in several ACS sponsored events over the past few years. She was especially honored on Thursday, January 28, 2010 as she was sworn in to the ACS Board of Directors.

Having witnessed first hand the destruction and devastation cancer causes as she held the hand of her brother Tommy while he fought hard against the Acute Myeloid Leukemia that eventually claimed his life, Ms. DeVore has a deep appreciation for all of the things the ACS strives for. Tommy was 48 when he lost his battle.

In addition to her brother, Ms. DeVore's biological paternal grandmother lost all three of her sons to lung cancer. All three were 48 years of age when they passed away and they all died within two years of each other. The same Grandmother passed away within a year of Ms. DeVore's biological father, and her grandfather died from lung cancer shortly thereafter. The year of 1999 brought the death of Ms. DeVore's older sister, Donna DeVore. Her adoptive father, Bruce DeVore is currently waging a 10 year ongoing battle against prostate cancer.

Says Ms. DeVore, "This was not a move to make myself look good or pretty. In my own life I have lost many loved ones to this devastating disease. My case may seem extreme, but everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. I am the last surviving child of my mother. I no longer live for myself, but I live for her and to fight this terrifying disease. The American Cancer Society will make a difference and I want to be a part of that by helping to raise both awareness and funds!"
