A Breast Cancer Survivor Turning Lemons Into Lemonade

As I continue to work within the breast cancer survivor community I keep meeting motivated and interesting women and yes, some men who have risen to the challenge of fighting breast cancer.

In this blog I would like to introduce you to Mary Ann Wasil Nilan a breast cancer survivor of 5 years now. Her story of survival is captivating and motivational. Instead of saying “why me???” she has turned it around and is now fighting back, by teaching young girls starting in 5th grade about their bodies and how to “Get In Touch” with them. Her Get In Touch Foundation produces a “daisy wheel” that helps girls and young women learn about their bodies. She has a beautiful website that I encourage you to explore and yes, donate. Like Mary Ann, I too am raising two daughters. Their daisy wheels are on order….I hope yours are too.
