Why Me is a Worcester-based is a grass roots nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to providing love and support services to families with childhood cancer. Why Me was started in 1985 by 13-year-old Sherry Shepherd during her four year battle with cancer. In the last months of her life, Sherry became determined to do something that would have a lasting value in the community to help children with cancer. With the help of her dad, she founded the non-profit organization WHY ME, which stands for Worcester Help for Youth, Memories Everlasting.
Ted Ritchie supports friend and colleague, Terry Shepherd, who helped start the organization in 1985. This year, the True North Financial Partners team participated in the annual golf tournament to help raise awareness and money for WhyMe.
