Knowledge is key, and awareness is key, and that's what I'm doing." 

"I'm obviously very passionate about this," she went on. "I've had my second below the belt cancer and my mom is fighting her third cancer, so I grew up with this. Watching my grandmother go through cancer and fight it, and watching my mom and self. So, again, I am very passionate about this cause, giving back and raising awareness."
