Cary Lorie, founder of the nonprofit Breasties, joined host Gloria Burns for a livestreamed episode of Gloria’s Gab LIVE, published Nov. 3. The conversation covers her breast cancer diagnosis at age 37 and the surgery, chemotherapy and recovery that followed.
Lorie said she wanted to create a space where survivors can walk in, feel good and know other people have been through the same thing. The discussion also addresses the toll on family members, who often try to stay strong for the patient while struggling themselves.
The episode covers the launch of Breasties and the first breast cancer walk in Doral. It also explains how the community can help fund the organization’s new center.
The interview is part of a Miami-Dade series profiling local community leaders. The source did not provide the date or location of the walk or the center’s address.
