Elaine’s connection to CureScience’s mission is personal. Her husband, Stephen Beech, was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor in 2018. Elaine and her two daughters cared for him at home for three and a half years. Stephen was treated by Dr. Santosh Kesari, now Chair of CureScience’s Scientific Advisory Board. Devoted to volunteering and serving his community throughout his life, Stephen was a constant source of kindness and support to all around him. He died in October 2021, and in his memory, Elaine is committed to doing everything she can to support CureScience. “I have made it my mission to continue Stephen’s legacy and give back with love,” she says.
