Mary-Jean Mitchell Green’s journey led her to meet her husband, Peter Green, and together they had two sons, Alexander and Andrew, whom they cherished deeply.

After the passing of Sir Harold, Mary-Jean successfully managed the family’s various international businesses until she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1988. Although it went into remission in 1989, the cancer returned in 1990, and she sadly passed away at the age of 38. Knowing her time was limited, Mary-Jean established a foundation dedicated to funding the fight against breast cancer.

The Green Family Support

Peter Green and his sons, Andrew and Alexander, have been steadfast supporters of Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre for several decades. Their contributions have been instrumental in advancing our mission.

In 2010, the Green family made a significant donation, helping the Centre launch a three-year fundraising campaign to raise $900K. This funding was crucial for upgrading our equipment and patient support systems, thereby enhancing early cancer detection and reducing the time between screening and diagnosis.

In 2012, we dedicated the Mary-Jean Mitchell Green Ultrasound Suite, and her name now graces our ultrasound breast biopsy service, made possible by the acquisition of premium equipment, including a new ultrasound system.

In 2017, the Greens were lead donors for our $10M radiation therapy initiative, and their name is proudly displayed in the radiation therapy reception area. Additionally, the family has graciously loaned artwork that is displayed throughout the radiation therapy unit.

We are profoundly grateful to our friends, Peter, Andrew, and Alexander. Their support has transformed our vision of ‘building healthier lives free of cancer and disease’ from a long-term aspiration into an achievable reality. Mary-Jean’s legacy continues to inspire a future where breast cancer is no longer a life-threatening disease.
