Leecy Fink and fellow advocates are pushing for legislation to mandate insurance coverage for diagnostic testing to aid early breast cancer detection, potentially saving lives and reducing treatment costs.

Players will honor people who have either passed away or keep fighting breast cancer.

ROANOKE, Va. - The annual Susan G. Komen Pink Promise luncheon was held at the Hotel Roanoke Tuesday. Breast cancer survivors are the largest group of cancer survivors in the U.S. at 3.8 million people, and this event helps celebrate their stories. The 43-year-old mother of five was diagnosed with stage 3 and then stage 4 breast cancer. "Speaking at this event is because of that promise, my promise was to do everything in power to make sure my children were never walk in my shoes to make sure my children don't face breast cancer," said Fink. By 2026, Komen's goal is to reduce breast cancer deaths by 50%.
