What began in February 2009 with a small group of gals focused on helping out one of their own with breast cancer has now grown to include over 300 volunteers open to supporting women with any kind of cancer regardless of insurance status. We are in the process of establishing a non-profit foundation to better serve women in the Knoxville area and make it easier for others to get involved.”
