As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to pause and reflect on one of the most meaningful evenings of the month, our Breast Cancer Support Group Dinner.
For nearly three years, UCBC’s Breast Cancer Support Group has gathered each month to provide a place for connection, encouragement, education, and friendship. Led by our nursing and social work teams, this group supports patients through the many different parts of the cancer journey, while reminding each person who walks through our doors of something incredibly important: you are not in this fight alone.
This year, our group experienced the heartbreaking loss of one of its founding members, Megan Dickert, who passed away from metastatic breast cancer. Megan brought courage, joy, and an unforgettable zest for life to this group and to the people who knew her.
To ensure that her beautiful spirit continues to be remembered and celebrated, we created the Megan Dickert Spirit of Courage Award, honoring an individual who demonstrates the same bravery, strength, and love for life that Megan so naturally shared with others.
It was our privilege to present the inaugural Megan Dickert Spirit of Courage Award to Emily Bailey. Emily’s incredible strength and perseverance are a beautiful reflection of the courageous spirit this award represents. 💚🩷💙
