NEBCA Board Members Share Their Story on Coast 93.1's The Blake Show

Board members Jen and Marisa recently had the opportunity to share their powerful breast cancer journeys and the mission of the New England Breast Cancer Alliance with hosts Kelly and Blake on Coast 93.1's The Blake Show. The conversation offered listeners an intimate look at the personal experiences that inspired NEBCA's founding and the transformative impact of the Runway for Hope event.

During the interview, Jen and Marisa opened up about their own breast cancer diagnoses and the challenges they faced as young women navigating the disease. They discussed how the lack of support and resources for young breast cancer patients inspired them to create the network they wished had been available during their own journeys. Their stories highlighted the importance of community, connection, and hope in the face of adversity.

The conversation naturally turned to NEBCA's flagship event, Runway for Hope, which empowers breast cancer survivors through fashion, community, and fundraising for critical research. Jen and Marisa explained how the event creates a "Sisterhood" among participants and provides a transformative experience where survivors can reclaim their confidence on the runway.

In an exciting announcement, Kelly revealed she will be serving as emcee for this year's Runway for Hope, bringing her warmth and energy to the celebration of survivors and their journey.

The interview provided a valuable platform to spread awareness about breast cancer, particularly among younger women, and to share NEBCA's mission of funding research to improve detection and treatment outcomes. The kindness and enthusiasm of hosts Kelly and Blake created a welcoming space for these important conversations.

Thank you to Kelly, Blake, and Coast 93.1 for helping amplify NEBCA's message and supporting the fight against breast cancer!
