Leadership

Our leadership has a simple belief, that each of us has a responsibility to act, to advocate, to bring awareness, and responsibility to fight for those who can no longer fight for themselves. 
Board of Directors
​Barton Edgerton
Board Chairman
barton.edgerton@edgerton.life 
                                                
Michael Wm. Coleman
Executive Director
michael.coleman@edgerton.life

​Michael Wm. Coleman is a passionate leader with a deep-rooted feeling of social responsibility to do all that he can to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds to aid in its detection, treatment and research.  

​He pours most of his passion into leading each of our fundraising activities and into building relationships with our corporate and individual sponsors and donors. He strongly believes that a single passionate individual can do greater things than 100 having indifference. 

​Michael has shown a strong ability to lead and be part of many successful teams with his involvement with Chubb Limited, ACE Limited (both a global provider and leader of insurance products), NCAA Athletics, Lambda Chi Alpha, Boy Scouts of America, and Key Club International.

He and his wife (Angie) have two sons, Cruz and Jackson, and live in Olathe, Kansas.
