This week Joanne sits down with the Founders of We Fight Like Girls, a 501C pending non-profit dedicated to supporting young women with cancer. In this inspiring conversation, you will learn how three sisters, Mikaela Rix, Marguerite Rix, and Morgayne Rix figured out a way to create something good when one of the three young women got cervical cancer and within a year another got breast cancer.

You’ll learn how humor, love, and the support of family and community got them through, how early detection helped them beat cancer, and how they decided they wanted to raise awareness and support among young women who find themselves navigating these diseases at such young ages by launching a non-profit –  We Fight Like Girls.
