What makes you feel connected to Susan G. Komen and our mission to end breast cancer?
Kristi Gorecki: I worked in Oncology as a new graduate years ago. After almost 16 years of being a nurse, I have a special place in my heart for my cancer patients and for those who fight. I am thankful to have a new position that has allowed me to help patients during their cancer journey. It's a wonderful feeling to see women feel "complete" again after they have healed on their reconstructive journey.
Ashley Christensen: Every day I work with breast cancer patients and the gratitude they share with us staff, especially nurses, is the reason I love what I do. I work hard for them and care deeply about their journey and to be there for them at a time that is the most difficult of their life. I am happy to serve them in any way I can.
Henry Behrendt: I am the son and grandson of two wonderful nurses who spent their careers caring for patients in need. While nursing wasn't my calling, I'm happy to be able to help patients in another way as the CEO of an organization that provides cancer care to our community.
