I am honored to be nominated as a semifinalist for AuntMinnie.com “The Minnies” in the “Most Effective Radiology Educator” category. Educating radiologists of all career levels and practice types has been a highlight and important aspect of my career thus far. Also, to be named amongst so many incredible educators, many from whom I’ve personally learned so much, is so special. #Gratitude #TheMinnies

A Kansas City @chiefs victory and celebration of the @nfl Crucial Catch campaign in collaboration with The University of Kansas Cancer Center and American Cancer Society. The Crucial Catch initiative not only focuses on screening, early detection, and risk reduction, but also places an emphasis on the unequal burden of cancer in under-resourced communities. Since 2009, the initiative has raised more than $35 million, and has also helped patients in our region to ensure access to lifesaving screenings. To see the #KansasCity community come together today was so powerful and truly demonstrates how it takes all of us in the fight against cancer! #NFL #CrucialCatch #ChiefsvsCancer #ChiefsKingdom ❤️💛❤️

⚽️💗🩵KC CURRENT TICKET WINNERS ANNOUNCED! ⚽️
Thanks to the incredible generosity of the KC Current, two lucky names were drawn from our growing list of Alison’s Allies donors and team members to receive tickets to the KC Current match on October 25 at CPKC Stadium!🏟️

We’re especially excited that both winners are not only supporters of Alison’s Allies, but also breast cancer researchers 🔬whose work is helping advance the fight against this disease.

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Katy Swancutt! Katy and her husband, Jason Badger, will be attending the match. Katy is a researcher in Dr. Danny Welch’s laboratory studying metastatic breast cancer, the stage of breast cancer responsible for the vast majority of breast cancer deaths. I am proud to serve as a lay research advocate on a grant she has recently submitted, and we are grateful for her dedication to improving outcomes for patients facing metastatic disease.

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Kristy Brown! Kristy will be attending the match with one of her daughters. Alison's Allies is proud to support Kristy and Dr. Sailesh Palikhe as they investigate an important connection between obesity and breast cancer risk. Their innovative research could lead to new prevention strategies and improved health outcomes for women everywhere.

And of course, a huge thank you to the KC Current! ⚽️ 🩵What an amazing women’s soccer team, making history on the pitch while demonstrating incredible leadership and generosity throughout our community.

Thank you for being an outstanding partner in the fight against breast cancer and for supporting 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣’𝙨 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨 – 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧!
💗 Small Acts. Big Ripple.

I was honored to speak at the Pretty in Pink Gala: An Evening of Hope, Healing & Empowerment hosted by The Black Butterfly Foundation. This foundation, spearheaded by Founder and CEO Tracy Brown, raises awareness and supports the community in the fight against lupus and breast cancer. I had a wonderful time meeting those in attendance, including survivors, hearing stories of strength and perseverance, no matter the circumstance. It’s been so incredible to see the #KansasCity area community coming together celebrating, reflecting, and supporting one another in the month of October. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth 🎀
