All-Volunteer Organization
Our Leadership
Every member of our board and advisory team serves voluntarily. No one takes a salary. We’re here because this mission is personal.
Board of Directors
Austin Henry
President / Executive Director
Navy veteran and sarcoma survivor who got the specialist care that saved his life and met the patients who couldn't reach it. Founded Beat the Odds to dismantle that barrier and now leads the fund's strategy, donor partnerships, and grant operations.
Jennifer Flint
Vice President / Secretary
Sarcoma advocate with deep working knowledge of treatments, trials, and specialists, built through years of engaging directly with the oncology and research community. Puts that network to work for patients navigating diagnosis and the path to the right care.
Frehley Wilson
Treasurer
Director of Business Development at Fusable, where she leads revenue forecasting, performance tracking, and data-driven strategy across multiple markets. Joined the board after walking alongside close friends through their son's osteosarcoma battle, bringing financial discipline to ensure resources reach families who need them most.
