Neither Laura Littner nor her family will ever forget the day the Woodstock Bunco for Breast Cancer event was born.

The Woodstock native was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer in October 2004 with her teary-eyed mother, Susan Martino, by her side. Only two years earlier, Martino was comforting her other daughter – Tracy Noe – through a similar battle with breast cancer.

Littner thought only about what her mother must have been going through while having to nurture another daughter through breast cancer treatments as chemotherapy was administered through her arm that day.
