Today’s guest is Susan Combs - the founder of the nonprofit organization Pancakes for Roger. Her journey began with a heartfelt tribute to her father, Major General Roger Combs, a Vietnam War veteran who battled throat cancer due to Agent Orange exposure.
From a simple wish for pancakes to a nationwide movement, Susan has turned a personal loss into a mission of giving back to the brave men and women who serve our country. Her innovative approach to fundraising and community engagement has propelled Pancakes for Roger to incredible heights, making a tangible difference in the lives of veterans.
I’m honored that she is sharing her story with us today.
