Marcella Bossow Schankweiler

Marcella Bossow Schankweiler is currently President and founder of Crossing the Finish Line (CFL), a nonprofit cancer organization started by Marci and her late husband, Peter R. Bossow, in 1999. In her tenure as director, Marci, with her team of employees, volunteers and colleagues, has solicited funds to support the organization’s goal – providing respite excursions to young adult cancer patients and their caregivers.

Marci’s philosophy in life is summed up by the words she inscribed on her past husband’s wedding ring, Carpe Diem. She enjoys laughter and love with her second husband, Mark, and her two young children, Maura and Rose. She resides in North Wales, PA.
