Meet Nancy💗⚔️. She made a promise to her sister, and that promise set off one of philanthropy's most powerful movements you know and love today. She's the founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and dedicated her life to ridding the world of breast cancer in honor of her sister Suzy. “I promised my sister I’d do everything I could to stop the heartless progression and social stigma of this disease, even if it took the rest of my life. And it has.” She's talking about the love of family, founding Komen, and that promise to her new organization - The Promise Fund of Florida - filling healthcare gaps for Palm Beach County citizens and reducing the number of deaths due to late-stage breast and cervical cancer. 🎧Join us for a powerful conversation with one of the biggest dreamers we've interviewed yet.
