Just before her 38th birthday, Lauren Yerkes learned she had breast cancer. Genetic testing would reveal she had the BRCA2 inherited gene mutation that made her at higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers.

Lauren is here today to share her story, the preventative measures she has taken for her health and how she is giving back to the breast cancer community.
