Shawn Wood is the founder of the Emily Ann Foundation - an organization that bears the name of his late wife with the goal to help terminal cancer patients over the age of 18 to provide accommodation for family members while a patient undergoes treatment and to facilitate final wishes.

Ten years ago, the Comox Valley community rallied around Shawn and his fiancee Emily to plan their dream wedding after Emily - 24 years old at the time - was diagnosed with Stage 4 aggressive large-cell lymphoma and doctors gave her three to 12 months to live.
