~ Who We Are ~ |
A cancer diagnosis can be devastating enough, but young
women can feel alone in their struggles. For example, breast
cancer typically strikes after the age of 50, leading people
to erroneously believe breast cancer is only the concern of
women middle-aged or older. But of the over 200,000 women
diagnosed every year, 11,000 are UNDER 40. Most do not know
any others their age who have the disease, and they feel
isolated in their very different challenges such as
motherhood and fertility concerns.
Shout was founded in June 2006 by two breast cancer
survivors, Molly Fritch and Sandi Troup. Diagnosed at ages
31 and 32, they recognized a need for other young survivors
to unite, share fellowship, and find hope. |

~Our Mission ~ |
| To provide peer support to young women cancer survivors
through fellowship and outreach programs and to increase
awareness of breast cancer and other young women's health
issues through community education. |

Thanks to our Oklahoma Firefighters for
making this possible. And to our husbands, moms, dads, kids,
sisters, brothers, nurses, doctors, neighbors, teachers, and
that lady at the store the other day that gave us a thumbs
up and said "Keep up the good fight! You'll make it
through!"
Thank you everyone for making us the warrior
princesses we are!
