We are sad to share that LBBC Young Advocate Jessica Moorhead recently passed away. We are truly grateful for her advocacy and commitment to educating young women about breast cancer. Jessica was a bright light and brought joy into the lives of many, and she will be missed.

It’s exciting (& scary) when a book you’ve poured so much of yourself into, not to mention time, makes its way onto the world’s #bookshelf (OK, Amazon's, but that's basically the same thing, right?) & into the hands of readers.👉nancyspoint.com/its-book-lau… #booklaunch #bcsm #books 📘
