"Beverly was a speaker at our "Celebration of Life: I Will Survive" event. She talked about her breast cancer journey with optimism, hope and enthusiasm. Not once did anyone feel that she was a victim. She chose to take her life experience and channel it as an opportunity to educate others. She is motivating, as well as, inspiring. She is the type of person that a cancer survivor wants and needs to encounter. We are invited to her party in 2052. We look forward to the reunion."
