Meet Nancy Porter
Born and raised in Washington DC, I enjoyed the beauty and excitement of the city and the fun of working on
Capitol Hill. Ten years of living on the water in Annapolis and working in the sailing industry fostered a strong love
for the Chesapeake Bay and its beauty.
In Annapolis I met and fell in love with an Eastern Shore native, Hursey Porter and that marriage moved me to this
side of the bay as well as immersed me in local real estate. For 15 years Hursey was a recovering lung cancer
patient, but the disease returned in 2006 and he passed away in 2008. While he was alive we worked
passionately to help establish a local Wellness Community for cancer patients and their loved ones. One of our
greatest joys was watching it become a strong viable resource for people without costing them anything!
Fund-raising for the organization definitely became an ongoing part of our life together. Event though he is no
longer here, I like to think that somehow he knows and is having a good chuckle over this foolish and courageous
venture I am trying this time! Hursey loved to dance and was probably much better than I will be, but I believe he
will be cheering me on!
