October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a time where women, men and children participate in charity events across the country in support of finding a cure for the encroaching disease. Even the NFL is joining the fight--players are wearing shades of pink on their gloves, hats and sneakers!
There is another fighter amongst us. Hope Nemiroff, co-founder and executive director of Breast Cancer Options (BCO), a non-profit organization established in 2000, is a courageous woman. Nemiroff, a breast cancer survivor, decided not to let cancer rule her. Instead, she set out to help women gain knowledge about cancer.
BCO acts as a guide to women diagnosed with the deadly disease. BCO is a place of solace and fortitude. Located in Kingston, New York, BCO offers legal advice, contact with breast cancer survivors, counseling and other resources including support for children.
It's pretty safe to say that having a woman like Nemiroff in your corner packs a mighty punch.
