Beth Thorp
Beth Thorp is a philanthropist, author, speaker, and Co-Founder of the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, a public 501c3 organization. She earned her B.A degree at the Institute of Illinois in Fashion Merchandising. Her original career was in fashion for twenty-five years when her life was turned upside down after losing her son to an undiagnosed illness. Her new profession in the non-profit world became her focus for the past 15 years, helping other families whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases, and disorders. Her new book, "ANEW Creation" is an inspirational true story that has now led Beth to creatively finish writing the screenplay to take her book to film.
