Howdy!
The world is catching up to the extraordinary impact of a mother and daughter from Texas A&M University in the fight against pediatric pancreatitis.
The global Points of Light organization, founded by former President George H.W. Bush, announced today that Rebecca Taylor, 20, an engineering undergraduate, and her mother, Christyn Taylor ’98, will be honored in Washington D.C. this fall.
The award is for their charity Rebecca’s Wish, which fights the debilitating disease Rebecca has suffered with since the age of 7.
Other honorees for charitable work will include former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love.
Diane Quest, the Points of Light president, said the honorees “model what a life of service looks like, from turning challenges into triumphs, using their voice and becoming leaders who uplift others.”
Rebecca’s Wish has raised over $3 million, helped train pediatricians and started programs to support countless children around the United States.
