Bra-Ha-Ha: Funny Name, Serious Good
Bra-ha-ha is an event that allows breast cancer survivors and supporters to express themselves and even find the humor in breast cancer. See how something so funny can do some serious good.
All breast-cancer Stories
Tami Boehmer
After discovering that her breast cancer had metastasized, Tami Boehmer turned to the Internet to discover people like her — the people who statistics are not kind to. What she found changed her life forever.
Stand Up and Fight
We love to tell the stories of cancer survivors, people who stare death in the face, beat it, then go on to live rich, fulfilling lives. But it doesn’t always happen that way. Meet a woman who died trying to get access to a life-saving vaccine.
Behind the Scenes: Posing for a Cure
At Growing Bolder, we say it’s not about age; it’s about attitude. And it takes attitude (plus a lot of chutzpah) to show this much skin! Find out why Growing Bolder reporter Wendy Chioji agreed to (swim)suit up for a calendar.
Who Is Wendy Chioji?
Wendy Chioji is an athlete, a cancer survivor, a journalist, a businesswoman, an advocate, and most of all, a really good friend. She’s also the newest member of the Growing Bolder team.
John Hall
To celebrate his wife’s one-year cancer-free anniversary, John Hall hopped on his bike and pedaled 12,000 miles to raise money and awareness about breast cancer.
The Power of One
Andrea Eliscu is a loving grandmother and successful businesswoman who volunteers her time, talents, and heart to make her community a better place. Now she’s been nominated for the prestigious L’Oreal Women of Worth National Award.
Enter the Dragon
How long does it take to turn a good idea into a great program? Not long when great people combine forces with great organizations. What began as a weekend event for a few cancer survivors is now a year-round wellness program for an entire community.
Saving Lives, Changing Lives
Women Playing For T.I.M.E. is more than a fundraising group — it’s an organization that changes lives and saves lives. See for yourself just how special this organization is.
Warriors on Water
Picture it — 20 women, all breast cancer survivors, in a single dragon boat paddling as one. It’s a statement about the power of faith and friendship. It’s the art of Growing Bolder. It’s one heck of good time.
Big Name, Big Cause, Big Fun
Just when you think Women Playing For T.I.M.E. couldn’t possibly make their life-saving tournaments any more fun, one of the greatest golfers ever shows up. Don’t call her the Tiger Woods of women’s golf. He’s the Annika Sorenstam of men’s golf.
Breast Cancer Survivors Tame the Dragon
You’ve heard of the battle against breast cancer — but how about the paddle? One of the fastest-growing team sports is bringing survivors and supporters together: dragon boat racing.
