On today’s show I learned about the impactful work of the Susan G. Komen Foundation with three distinguished guests: Stephen Hunt, Executive Director of the Indianapolis chapter, Tammy Lisby, a resilient breast cancer survivor and Survivor Chair for the 'More Than Pink Walk' in Indianapolis, and Ryan Randolph, President of the Board at Susan G. Komen Indiana.
Our conversation covers the foundation's origins, the efforts in funding breast cancer research, and the vital support provided to patients.
Stephen, Tammy and Ryan share personal stories, ways the community can get involved, and the importance of events like the 'More Than Pink Walk' to raise awareness and funds.
Key insights include the power of a supportive community, the indispensable research conducted in Indiana, and the foundation's unwavering vision of a world without breast cancer.
