“I didn’t feel a lump or anything, but that notice I got in the mail stuck in the back of my mind. I started to think about getting that mammogram. The unknown made me want to get checked. As soon as the screens came back and showed something, I knew I had cancer. They didn’t even have to say the words.”

"If I hadn't had this mammogram, I wouldn't have found out about it," Smith said. "I don't have health insurance, so I wouldn't have known any other way. I still wouldn't know," she said.
Smith was one of hundreds of walkers in the Walk for the Cure at Geneva High School in late September. As a survivor, she wore a pink hat to commemorate her struggle.
"I am so thankful for this program. I want to encourage people with no insurance to take advantage of the great opportunity to get a mammogram," Smith said.
