Shannen is één van de gastsprekers tijdens het jaarlijkse Breast Cancer Foundation Gala dat op 6 oktober gehouden wordt in L.A. Enkele betrokken mensen bij het evenment laten het weten over de aankondiging dat ze zal gaan spreken tijdens het evenement:
Janette Fitzgerald (chief administrator van de Breast Cancer Foundation of Cayman) “We are extremely honored to have Shannen Doherty as our guest speaker at this year’s gala. After her diagnosis in 2015, at the age of 44, Shannen instantly took to social media to share her journey and by doing so, expanded breast cancer awareness to a much younger audience.”
Kim Lund (cofounder and board member of the Breast Cancer Foundation of Cayman): “At 46 years old, Shannen Doherty will continue the gala’s recent theme of having young women speakers, She brings much needed awareness to a younger audience of women in Cayman who grew up watching her on ‘Beverly Hills, 90210.’ Many of these women are now at the age where it is recommended they receive their first mammogram.”
James Bovell(cofounder and board member of the Breast Cancer Foundation of Cayman): “Shannen’s courageous and open battle with breast cancer from diagnosis in 2015 through remission in 2017 has helped change people’s perception of this disease,”
