In January 2012 at the age of 28, our oldest daughter, Kady, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Breast Cancer. The next year we learned the cancer had metastasized to her liver. Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) is a fatal disease with an average life expectancy of 24-36 months. Kady only lived nine months after her MBC diagnosis. She spent her last two Christmases buying gifts for women diagnosed with Breast Cancer and their children. After her death we simply carried on with her generosity, helping women with MBC and their children. 

We took our name from the promise in Isaiah 61 to give us ‘a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.’ I miss my daughter with every beat of my heart but I can honestly say that my despair has been replaced with a joyous blessing as we serve the MBC community. 

Our tagline is 'Compassion, Support, Education' because the MBC community is desperate for each. Our goal is to help you gain a better understanding of MBC and hope that you'll partner with us as we serve the community in a variety of ways.
