Jan has faced breast cancer three times, including her current diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. Reflecting on her gift, Jan shared, “It brings me joy to bring joy to others with breast cancer, who, like me, are fighting for their lives. The Breast Wishes Foundation’s mission to bring joy to those with breast cancer resonates with me strongly. I can think of no better way to invest funds that will bring hope at a time when it is needed the very most.”
