I couldn't find this recent story posted here on BC.org.  Allyn Rose is Miss District of Columbia (Miss America pageant).  She lost her mother, grandmother, and great aunt to breast cancer.  Her mother was first diagnosed in her 20's, and the cancer recurred in her 40's.  Allyn tested negative for both BRCA1 & 2, but she is planning to have a prophylactic double mastectomy.  She used her platform as Miss DC to bring the issue to the forefront.  Here is an interview of her with Greta Van Susteren:

I've been coming across so many stories about BC lately, and I thought this was another good one to share.

Stay strong, everyone!
