When her best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 26, *Zionna Hanson* realized that there are serious problems in the way breast cancer is diagnosed and treated. The minimum screening age is typically 40 (far later than many women develop breast cancer) and long-term mental, physical, and emotional care is virtually nonexistent. Z founded Barbells for Boobs ( https://www.barbellsforboobs.org/ ) to advocate to redefine the standard of care in breast health and improving quality of life post diagnosis. Z joins Cause & Purpose ( www.causeandpurpose.com ) to talk about her founding story and share insights gleaned from growing her organization from a single fundraising event to the thriving nonprofit organization it is today.
