Cass was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 30 years old. She was planning the holiday of a lifetime with her young family when she found a small lump on her breast while preforming a self-examination in the shower. After some difficult testing, Cass was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. The trip was cancelled and many months of intense treatment resulting in physical and emotional hardship followed. Ten years later, Cass is an advocate for the Cancer council, sharing her story and encouraging women to examine their own breasts every month, as well as providing support for recently diagnosed women.
