Age at Diagnosis: 59
At 59 years old, Nancy was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer discovered during her annual mammogram. She wasted no time seeking treatment and within months of her lumpectomy and radiation, she was on the road to recovery. With her determined attitude and family by her side, anything is possible.

For 30 years, our organization has been part of the fabric of this community — supporting individuals and families impacted by breast cancer with compassion, care, and connection.
As we’ve grown, so has our understanding of what our community needs. Today, our work goes beyond awareness — we are building meaningful connections, providing education, and offering direct support through our Breast Cancer Detection Fund.
That’s why we are proud to share that Nor-Cal Think Pink is becoming Nor-Cal Breast Cancer Connection.
This new name reflects who we are today and the future we are building — one rooted in connection, support, and ensuring that no one has to face breast cancer alone.
While our name is changing, our mission — and our heart — remain exactly the same.
