Amelia, breast cancer survivor

Amelia Tena has made it her mission to become an advocate and mentor for people living with cancer.

Don, breast cancer survivor

Don sports his pink City of Hope breast cancer awareness pin wherever he goes – spreading the message of early detection as he enlists new recruits in his personal war on cancer.

For breast cancer survivor Kommah McDowell, a second opinion at City of Hope made all the difference for her and her family…

Stephanie, breast cancer survivor

“City of Hope saved me. They saved my baby. They saved my family portrait.”

Meet Kandace McMenomy, 2019 Walk for Hope Ambassador

An avid marathon runner, health fanatic and adventurer, Kandace McMenomy never dreamed she'd be adding “cancer patient” to her personal description. But she was diagnosed with Stage 2 estrogen-positive breast cancer at just age 30.

Twins tackle breast cancer together

Twins Clarisa and Iris Valdez both carry the BRCA1 and 2 mutations associated with a high risk of breast cancer. Clarisa was diagnosed with the disease at only 31 and underwent a double mastectomy at City of Hope. Iris then chose a preventative double mastectomy.
