THE BREASTIES
Co-Founder
In 2017, Paige opted to have a preventative double mastectomy after discovering she carries the BRCA1 genetic mutation. After feeling alone during her entire decision making process, Paige decided to start sharing her story on Instagram. After building a community online, she decided to start putting together free events for those who have been affected by cancer and the Breasties was born. The Breasties is the first all-inclusive nonprofit organization that creates community for survivors, previvors, thrivers, and carevivors. Their mission is to support and improve the experiences of the breast and gynecologic cancer community through peer-to-peer connection, resources, and advocacy.
