After traveling all over the world from Europe to South America, meeting many religious people and publishing many books on the subject of saints, I hope my belief in Mrs. Mary Dempster being a saint can be taken seriously.

Through a tragic accident, Mary suffered a head injury resulting her to give birth to Paul prematurely and for her to be diagnosed as ‘simple’ by the town people. Many people keep their distance from Mary because of peculiar habits but on my word, she was nothing but a heartfelt woman who loved life. In spite of everything, Mrs. Dempster in her life span has performed three miracles.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., a well-known non-profit breast cancer awareness organization. The organization was named for Susan Goodman Komen, who was born in Peoria, Illinois in 1943. At the age of 33, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and died of the disease at age 36 in 1980.
