In this bonus episode of the Maryland Living Podcast, hosts John Reynolds and Megan Burke sit down with Severna Park locals Larry and Robin Sells, founders of the Katherine’s Light Foundation. Created to honor their late daughter, Katherine, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit brings awareness, education, and research to those navigating neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cancer. Larry and Robin discuss how their entirely volunteer-run foundation has already donated $210,000 to cancer research and localized patient care. Robin also bravely shares the frequently misdiagnosed early symptoms of NET cancer—such as severe reflux, flushing, and chronic diarrhea—in hopes of helping other families secure an early diagnosis.

The episode also highlights the foundation's largest annual fundraiser, coming up on June 13 from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Severna Park Tap House. The high-energy event features live music, raffles, and silent and live auctions for vacation getaways.

Listeners can learn how to attend, sponsor, or donate by visiting Katherineslight.org or emailing info@Katherineslight.org.

Co-host Pete Fettig is missed on this episode while vacationing with family.
