Everett, Elaine

Abstract

Elaine Everett survived a stage one breast cancer diagnosis. She has been a volunteer with the Johns Hopkins Breast Center for eleven years. She says the disease left her with a gift–being part of the Johns Hopkins family as a volunteer. Elaine now raises funds for research and helps other women–including the underprivileged–face the challenges of their disease. ”I would not be involved with any of this if I had not had breast cancer. So that’s the gift it gave me. And for that, I’m very thankful.”.
