When Andrea Ivory was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, she says she "just knew that it was for a higher purpose." For her, that purpose was realized when she founded the Florida Breast Health Initiative to help low-income women. She and her crew of volunteers spend the first 3 Saturdays of spring and fall months knocking on doors, raising awareness, and signing women up for mammograms. On the last Saturday of the month, a mobile mammography van comes to the neighborhood and provides screenings. In this way, Ivory continues her battle with the cancer, and she is winning.
