Lydia’s Legacy was founded in 2011 by Carin Ross Johnson in honor of her mother, Lydia Jon Greene, who passed away from complications of uterine cancer in 2010. Throughout her battle with cancer, Lydia’s chief concern was that there was not enough awareness or visibility about gynecologic cancers in the community.
