Fighting Pretty

Fighting Pretty Fighting Pretty is a nonprofit on a mission to help all women battling cancer feel strong & beautiful Thank you!

Fighting Pretty is a non-profit organization on a mission to help all women battling cancer to feel strong, beautiful and sexy during and after cancer treatment. This organization was developed after the founder, Kara Skaflestad, was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 26. She lost her breasts, her hair and her eyelashes but never lost her beauty. She wore wigs, bright colored outfits and even hee

ls to her treatments and did the best she could to continue feeling beautiful - all the while going through chemo, radiation and more. Now, Kara and Fighting Pretty are on a mission to encourage and inspire all women battling cancer. Never forget, you are strong, fierce, beautiful and amazing!

We asked some of our students what Fighting Pretty means to them at our recent Student Ambassador Training… and their answers truly moved us 💖

From honoring family members to confidence and community, their words were powerful reminders of why this mission matters so much.

Hearing the next generation carry this message forward with so much heart gives us all the hope!

One of the OG Fighting Pretty gals, Jan, just celebrated her 94th birthday earlier this month! 🎉💖

A true inspiration, Jan embodies strength, resilience, and grace in every sense of the word. Her spirit reminds us that being “Fighting Pretty” isn’t just about one moment, it’s a lifelong mindset. We’re so lucky to have her as part of this community and to celebrate such an incredible milestone with her. 💫

April is Head & Neck Cancer Awareness Month. 🤍

Cancers of the head and neck, like those affecting the throat, mouth, and voice box, often go unnoticed until later stages. Knowing the signs matters: persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or a lump in the neck.

Early detection saves lives. Paying attention to your body and speaking up when something feels off can make all the difference.

To those in the fight right now - we see you. Keep Fighting Pretty. 💪✨

April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month. 🤍

Esophageal cancer is often diagnosed later because symptoms can feel subtle at first. That’s why awareness matters. That’s why conversations matter.

To anyone navigating this diagnosis, you are seen, you are supported, and you are Fighting Pretty. 💕

Know someone in the fight? Send them a little love. 🤍 You can gift a pair of Fighting Pretty gloves to remind them they’re not alone. Purchase yours here: https://shop-fighting-pretty.myshopify.com/collections/mini-boxing-gloves
