Kristin Bednarowski truly embodies the spirit of the Legacy of Love Award. After losing her mother, Gail, to brain cancer, Kristin chose to honor her memory by returning to Henry Ford Health, where her mother received care for several years. She has turned personal loss into a powerful commitment to helping others.

Kristin is deeply passionate about brain cancer awareness and uses her marketing expertise to educate and engage the community. As captain of Gail’s Gang, she has inspired countless individuals to support Head for the Cure and the fight against brain tumors.

For all 13 years of the Detroit event, Kristin has participated, volunteered, and selflessly dedicated her time and energy to brain cancer awareness and fundraising efforts. We are incredibly fortunate to have Kristin on our team, but even more importantly, she continues to carry forward her mother’s remarkable legacy of love every day.
