Brooke Mulford is a name that many people on Delmarva recognize. At age 4, Brooke was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and unfortunately Brooke’s battle ended three years ago this month. Brooke captured the hearts of many; A-list actors, Major League Baseball stars, and Grammy-award winning artists. On top of all that, the sweet Salisbury girl stole the hearts of all of us. Today, we chat with Amy Mulford, Brooke’s Mother, to find out how Brooke’s legacy continues on. If you like to know more about The Brooke Mulford Foundation, click here.
