Today we are speaking with Sarah Powell from Pink Hope, now Inherited Cancers Australia, an Australian non-profit organisation for educating and preventing about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer
Sarah was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 years old but it was the news she carries a BRCA1 mutation that sent her looking for support and information. Luckily she found Krystal Barter and the Pink Hope community and since then has been a big supporter of the charity by volunteering, sharing her story and fundraising.
