Educating

In the future, I would love to get more involved in educating young and underprivileged women who are either newly diagnosed with breast cancer or who have found out that they are high risk and have the BRCA gene mutation, but I'm not sure what that involvement might look like.

My initial goal right now is to finish writing my book (I am sweating through the third draft) and to start a Not For Profit to help cancer survivors volunteer oversees.

As part of this work, I would like the chance to volunteer again myself and work with women experiencing breast cancer in third world countries.

After I have these two ventures off the ground, I would love to have the opportunity to speak to groups of young women and educate them about screening and awareness. Particularly close to my heart would be to form some sort of support system for BRCA gene mutation carriers as I know how challenging it is to live with the risks and the fear of both breast and ovarian cancer.

If you have any ideas about how I can get more involved, please let me know. I would love to connect further!
