These tools and resources help accelerate scientific progress and drive results that will transform scientific discoveries into improvements in breast cancer care.
Texas EquuSearch
Based in Dickinson, Texas EquuSearch (TES) achieves its mission of returning missing persons back to their loved ones across the nation. Since its founding in 2000 by Director Tim Miller following the abduction and murder of his daughter, Laura, TES’s all volunteer organization has conducted over 1,300 searches and has found 23% of those abducted still alive.
Tim Miller credits Kathy Lehne and Sun Coast for “being there when we needed them the most.” He stated: “During these tough economic times we have seen a substantial drop off in donations and financial support, and to be quite honest … if Kathy had not stepped in when she did our doors would be shut today.”
Kathy Lehne, Sun Coast’s founder and president, stated that she “is proud to support TES and Tim Miller’s compassionate and determined commitment to finding those who are missing or have been abducted or murdered. Thanks to Tim Miller and his awesome volunteers, who never give up looking for those lost, many families have been helped when they need it most.”
