First is Undefeated
Meet the Coalition for Women’s Cancers
The Coalition for Women’s Cancers is a volunteer-based group that aims to be a community of strength and support for women dealing with cancer. One of the group’s most-loved initiatives is a boxing class for cancer survivors. We sat down with some of the incredible women from the Coalition, and talked to them about their stories. We asked them to write a letter addressed to themselves the day they were diagnosed,describing the feelings and the journey they were about to embark on. We call them the ‘Pink Letters’.

"Boxing is how you begin to heal emotionally. You’ll take all the anger and frustration from your body’s betrayal and you’ll slam it into that bag

I mowed through cancer. Down blasted it out of my life. One more month of chemo, then cancer will be a faded memory, but with pronounced battle scars"
