Jackie's Story

Jacquelyn and her husband Kevin reside in Minnesota, where they are raising their four children. At the age of 38, Jacquelyn attended a routine physical and breast exam. During this visit, she sensed that something was amiss—an instinct often referred to as a woman’s intuition. At her request, she underwent an early mammogram, which revealed a tumor and led to a diagnosis of stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

During this visit, she sensed that something was amiss—an instinct often referred to as a woman’s intuition. At her request, she underwent an early mammogram, which revealed a tumor and led to a diagnosis of stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

The gravity of this diagnosis ignited a passion within her to advocate for change, particularly regarding the alarming fact that only 3% of breast cancer research funding is allocated to stage IV metastatic breast cancer—the only form of breast cancer that results in fatalities. In response, she founded the nonprofit vraniCURE, which is dedicated to funding research for metastatic breast cancer, raising awareness about the disease, and providing support to those affected by it.Thank you for joining me on this important journey!
