Amanda Duncan: When Amanda Duncan's mother told her the touching story of the David family and little Makenna, Amanda knew she wanted to learn more and become involved in the organization. She got to see firsthand the incredible care children receive at Kentucky Children's Hospital when her 7-year old cousin, Charlie, was a patient there. Amanda is a Master hair stylist at Hair & Beyond. Her favorite hobby at the moment is photography and Amanda loves having Sunday dinners with her extended family.
About The Makenna Foundation: Makenna David was just 2 years old when she died from a rare lung disease. Today, friends, family and supporters work to fulfill the mission of The Makenna Foundation: to bring the children and families who are served by the caring professionals of Kentucky Children's Hospital the joy, hope and courage that Makenna knew. The Makenna Foundation was established in 2001. In 2008, the Foundation began raising funds for the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center, a gift to the children of the Commonwealth, an honor to the memory of Makenna and a source of pride for The Makenna Foundation's supporters and Kentucky Children's Hospital.
