For some, the photos of the Think Pink Ladies are worth much more than a thousand words - they're worth a thousand lives. Together as one united group with a mission to encourage women to schedule regular breast exams and share their personal stories of survival, these women have become the faces of breast cancer -- humanizing the disease in order to raise awareness throughout the year.
Known as the Avera Think Pink Ladies, each one of these breast cancer survivors carries with her a very important story; her personal survival. "From the day we are diagnosed, we are all cancer survivors," says Judy Davis, Honorary Chair. "My goal is to help others in their fight."
Read about our survivors and their personal stories of courage and strength.
If you are a survivor and are interested in joining, please call the Avera McKennan Foundation at (605) 322-8900.
