    1 in 3 women will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. A seemingly healthy mother of two, Angela never imagined she’d be one of them, let alone during an unprecedented global pandemic.   In our latest episode of Front Porch Conversations created with Pfizer, Angela and her family join actor and cancer community advocate Patrick Dempsey to share the impact of her diagnosis and the role of self-advocacy in early detection.   Watch her full episode and discover resources that can help #ChangeTheOdds against cancer here: https://bit.ly/4hGAn25 

  • VIBES. The energy was so good. With over 300 guests in the room, it felt like a giant reunion. Friends were reconnecting, new connections were being made, and everyone stayed fully engaged all night. The atmosphere was vibrant, welcoming, and true to our Vegas community. Fork Cancer was a celebration of what happens when good people come together for a powerful cause. We laughed, we cheered, we rallied. And thanks to you, we made a real impact.

  • How it started ➡️ How it’s going From an idea to another incredible year of Fork Cancer. We’re beyond grateful for the overwhelming support. None of this would be possible without the 20 showstoppers who committed to raising $5,000, every single ticket purchased in support of this cause, and every donor who said “YES, I WANT TO HELP END CANCER AS WE KNOW IT, FOR EVERYONE.” You FORKIN’ did THAT. 🙌 Donations are still coming in and it’s not too late to grab your tickets before we announce our Showstopper of the Year! https://lnkd.in/gMJRku5p
