One of Kat and Jimmy's former bosses and mentors was a survivor of breast cancer. She sparked their interest in breast cancer awareness and soon after in 2016, Kat attended her first walkathon and learned more about breast cancer. Through conversations, formal fundraising and many connections afterwards, we've learned how many people we encounter daily that have been directly or indirectly affected by a positive diagnosis of breast cancer.
