"LOVE FIRST"
Kay Boyd-Rowe courageously battled cancer for nearly 23 years but never let the disease define her or stop her. Every day, the words "LOVE FIRST"
guided her every step.
A Story of Love.
For more than 20 years, Kay Boyd-Rowe and her husband, Robin, traveled to Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., for her appointments, treatments, scans, and tests. On one of those trips, upon retrieving their car from the parking garage, they were told that their parking fees were paid by a local business who donated the parking fees for everyone coming to Hillman Cancer Center that day. Both Robin & Kay were very touched by this gesture. On their ride home, Kay commented, “I would love to do this one day.”
A Story of Hope.
On May 12, 2023, Kay passed away, but her legacy to love first lives on. To honor Kay’s wish, the “Kay Days Fund” has been established to support patients who have cancer. KayDays partners with Hillman Cancer Centers in Punxsutawney and Pittsburgh, and Hahne Cancer Centers in DuBois and Clearfield, to provide parking vouchers and gas cards. Plus additional support through flowers, candy, port pillows, blankets, and other initiatives.
