Four Generations
During Lynne’s childhood years, she lost many of her family members to breast cancer including her mother, 2 aunts, and her grandmother. After knowing that, Lynne imagined that her risk factor was somewhat higher than the average. But it wasn’t until she was diagnosed with the horrible disease herself, that she realized that her risk factor was not only somewhat higher … but, due to a BRCA genetic mutation, her risk was significantly higher than the average population.
After 6 years of Lynne’s recovery, breast cancer touched her life again, this time, through her daughter, who was diagnosed at 27 years old. It was a horrible, gut-wrenching experience.
After painfully experiencing how four generations of breast cancer affected her family, Lynne became passionate at educating & empowering high risk communities. Early detection is critical for aggressive cancers.

"Catch The Promise"
And the promise is ... to fight
Fight complacency.
In the United States, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Know your risk.
Fight for wellness.
Take charge and be your own health advocate. Get screened. Do your part.
Fight the good fight of faith.
Speak Life To Your Situation. Trust God to do His part.
Catch The Promise is a faith based grassroots campaign movement designed to empower the community while specifically focusing on reducing breast cancer mortality rates. Since early detection is the key to survival, CTPs desire is to minimize the complacency that usually precede a late stage diagnosis. This campaign is a “call for action” to encourage individuals to take charge and become their own health advocate. Knowing that faith requires action, my prayer is that the campaign movement will stimulate us to do our part and furthermore will help us to trust that God will do His part.
