Locals Featured On Today Show
Bart Conley and his late wife Jill’s connection with Today show anchor Hoda Kotb was highlighted in a piece updating Kotb on families she’s featured on the show. The show is marking Kotb’s 60th birthday, and Bart was in New York to be a part of the celebration.
Jill was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer just 6 months after their wedding at the age of 32. The Conley’s were invited to a breast cancer event where Jill and Hoda hit it off and started a friendship (cue to 1:17). Jill’s Wish foundation has carried on her legacy, providing financial assistance grants to those with breast cancer allowing more time to focus on family and recovery.
