Pink Warrior



Jessica was 29 when she found her lump in April of 2011. She had a bilateral mastectomy. Even after Jessica's surgery, the doctors found more active cancer cells. The cancer was still trying to spread.

She started chemo treatment again and it deteriorated her white blood cells. Jessica had heard through a friend about "Forks Over Knives" ( A documentary made in 2011 directed by Lee Fulkerson that advocates a low fat whole-food, plant based diet as a means of combining a number of diseases).


After all the surgical procedures, chemo, and treatments Jessica could no longer fund other options. Jessica wanted to take on the 10 day program. She expressed with her family and friends what she wanted to do and they aided her in starting up a website which raised funds and was eventually able to send her to the retreat.  Jessica was diagnosed with an evasive stage 3 cancer. She went from a size 22 to an 6/8 by implementing the Forks over Knives Vegan lifestyle.  Although she underwent another surgery to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, Jessica is now CANCER FREE! Such an amazing story! Click the link below to watch. #ThinkPink #BoobFight #TeamShoeicde #BeInTheKnow #PinkWithAPurpose
