Becky Olson

Becky's story is an inspiration. In 1996, at age 43, she went back to school while working a full-time job, to get her college degree. Three months later she was diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer. She was given a 60% chance to survive past five years. She jokes that she is thankful her doctors were wrong because it took her seven years to graduate. In 2000, Becky co-founded an organization called Breast Friends, dedicated to helping women in their fight against Breast Cancer. Becky has been diagnosed twice since in 2004 and 2009.
