The seed for Beau’s Buddies Cancer Fund was first planted by members of the Greenville, NC community who
recognize, through personal experience, the struggle that cancer patients and their families endure.
Hugh Parham "Beau" Stanley III
was born June 19th, 2005, in Greenville, NC. Beau was diagnosed on Nov. 17th, 2006 with High Risk Stage III
Neuroblastoma. After fighting a long hard battle, Beau earned his angel wings and went to Heaven on Nov. 29th, 2007.
Our organization is named in honor of Beau Stanley and serves to accomplish some of the tasks that embody “Friends
helping Friends” of which Beau would be proud. www.beaustanley.com
 John Gibbs MD, PhD was diagnosed with a Mediastinal Stage II Liposarcoma in
May 2007 and again in April 2009. Dr. Gibbs has undergone extensive chemotherapy, external beam
radiation and multiple successful resections. During his many hospitalizations and treatments,
he experienced the anguish and pain of fellow cancer patients and their families. While in the hospital,
he focused and dreamed of one day helping others like those with which he struggled by raising funds to support the many needs
encountered by cancer patients and their families. Friends who are committed to the goals of Beau’s
Buddies Cancer Fund join him in the realization of this dream.
