Creating hope through tragedy is a powerful concept that is exemplified throughout this podcast episode. The conversation we have with Jan Hillman and Elesha Snyder shed light on the devastating effects of breast cancer and how it can inspire individuals to take action and make a difference.  Jan shares her journey of being diagnosed with breast cancer multiple times, including a recent diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. Elesha shares the story of her sister Kelli who unfortunately passed away from metastatic disease.  Elesha's desire to make a difference and help others going through similar experiences is commendable. By creating the Breast Wishes Foundation, she is not only honoring her sister's memory but also providing support and resources to individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
