Awesome video!!
I recently met a young survivor during my visit to Ithaca College -- her name is Stephanie Vann and she's so full of life it's contagious! She was diagnosed in June of 2005 at age 39. She went to get her first mammogram because of a lump she assumed was scar tissue from a previous breast reduction. It turned out to be one of a total of 7 tumors in her left breast.
We met up after my speech in Ithaca and had a great time getting to know each other and I have a feeling we'll continue to keep in touch as time goes on -- she's just one of those cool people who makes you feel good inside.
At the end of March she was the keynote speaker at the American Cancer Society's Tompkins County Relay for Life Kick-Off Dinner. She created a short film that she showed during her speech and I think it's so kickass I wanted to share it with you. Yet another inspirational woman under 40 who's breast cancer diagnosis has done anything but bring her down. You go girl.
