Meet The Team

President
Rita Anderson
During my life, I was in a position to seek the services of medical professionals for any health issues, including early detection screening. I joined the Project Detect board several years ago as I was very motivated to help others who are less fortunate.

Vice President
Nancy Tiernan
I have been a Board Member since 2012. A close family member diagnosed with cancer, who survived due to early detection, made me think of others facing a similar situation who might not afford this testing. Being active in Project Detect allows me to help raise money to make life-saving early-detection cancer screenings available to those in need in our Port Charlotte community.

Treasurer
Jibby Marshall
I am honored to serve this worthy cause. I believe in Project Detect’s dedication to detecting cancer and ultimately finding a cure. It is a pleasure to be a part of the Riverwood Community.

Secretary
Betsy Bonde
I am a breast cancer survivor because of the early detection of cancer screening. Project Detect's mission to provide cancer screenings to those who cannot afford such screenings is why I believe so strongly in what we do with the help and support of our community.

Former President 2018-2021
Linda Thurston
I became involved with Project Detect because I strongly believe in its mission to help needy Charlotte County residents receive life-saving cancer screenings.

Member Emeritus
Ann Christine Cea
I am retired from private practice as a Diagnostic Radiologist and Radiation Oncologist with strong beliefs in early detection of cancer as the best outcome for a cure. I find working with the other board members and devoted volunteers of Project Detect a rewarding benefit to help those who are unable to afford screening evaluations.

Director
Maureen Welling
My main focus has been on securing sponsors of local businesses in the Charlotte County area for donations. Their donations help us with our goal of helping less fortunate folks in our community obtain help for early cancer screening.

Director
Lisa Gillespie
I felt strongly about Project Detect's cause and mission. Project Detect gives people hope. Cancer is no stranger to my family. My mother, sister, and mother-in-law were all diagnosed with cancer. My sister has been cancer-free for over twenty-five years. One of the key ingredients was early detection and proper screening. The funds raised for Project Detect provides people with that care.
