Meet Shari...FIGHTER
Shari, 41
year old mom of six year old Devin and one year old Noah, was
diagnosed Thanksgiving 2011 with stage 2 breast cancer. She chose a
double mastectomy for herself and for her family so she didn't have to
look over her shoulder for the rest of her life and think it could
happen again. Her last chemo treatment was just days before this
picture.
She lights up a room!

Meet Kitty...SURVIVOR
Kitty,
61 year old grandmother of two, was diagnosed with breast cancer in
November 2009 while battling leukemia for the past 7 years. She chose a
double-mastectomy December 2009 and underwent no treatment, because of
early detection with an annual mammogram.
NOTHING puts Kitty in a
corner!
