What is legacy and where do I start?

Legacy isn’t just something you leave–it’s something you build each day. Everyone has a legacy, but where do you start?

May is National Legacy Month™—a month focused on legacy and being intentional. We all have a legacy that should be shared, and we want to help you be intentional yours.

Anna Conti is the Marketing & Communications Manager at Inheritance of Hope. When she was 15, her dad was diagnosed with a rare stage four cancer. During this time, Anna felt isolated because she did not know any other kids who knew what it was like to have a terminally ill parent.  In 2011, the Conti family attended an Inheritance of Hope Legacy Retreat®, an experience that was truly life-changing for them all. Inspired to give back and help other families, Anna served as a volunteer for many years before coming on staff full time in 2021. Anna currently lives in the Atlanta, GA area.
