Knowledge Is Power

Karen Hanberg and her daughter, Heather Lindsay.  

Back in October 2016 a childhood friend of mine, Shelly, passed away at the very young age of 35 from a long battle with Breast Cancer.  She left behind a husband and 3 beautiful boys. Before being diagnosed with Breast Cancer she had no idea that she carried the BRCA 1 gene.

Shelly Taylor Cuevas & Melessa Bills Paynter in Washington DC 1997.
