Breast cancer survivor revamps her lifestyle by Ruth Cook

Fort Wayne, Indiana (June 15, 2009) – Louisiana native Alex Cooper was no stranger to the word cancer. Her beloved brother was only 23 years old when he died of brain cancer, and Alex’s maternal grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in her late 80s. Still, at the young age of 38, this beautiful, vibrant mother of three was stunned when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Read the full story… in The Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Magazine.

P.S. A very special story for us to read and some great information from a survivor.

Thanks, Alex
