Serious, and seriously fun

We understand all too well that breast cancer is serious – but also that we need to laugh and have a bit of fun. We love a good play on words and think there’s great meaning in symbols. And, like a secret handshake, we have a language all our own that helps establish the bonds of relationship.

Words are not adequate to express the impact BRA has had in walking through this treacherous season with me. I was thrown into an absolute nightmare, and this community of thrivers has helped pull me back into life, one step at a time. I am forever grateful for the enduring love and sacrifice to not leave me, but to love me back to my new self."  - Whitney

Get To Know Us!

  • Who is BRA?

    BRA is an acronym for Breast cancer Recovery in Action.  We took out the “c” on purpose – because cancer does not define us, even while it has shaped us.  

  • Who is a survivor?

    Survivor [sərˈvīvər] – the dictionary says this is a noun, but we say it is also a verb. Each member of BRA actively participates in the process of healing and growth. We define a survivor as someone: 


    • who carries a genetic mutation and has prophylactic surgery; also known as a “pre-vivor” 
    • who has had a diagnosis of breast cancer, of any type, recently or long ago 
    • who is living with metastatic breast cancer

  • What do you see in our logo?

    Our logo contains a pink ribbon so we’d be recognized as a breast cancer organization – but we know we’re so much more than pink ribbons! This one is upside down because we turn cancer upside down. 


    • To some, the logo looks like a flower. It represents opening up and blooming. 
    • Others see a phoenix in the logo. We’ve definitely risen from the ashes! 
    • The extra “arms” mean we reach out to everyone. 
    • The dots in between the arms represent different skin tones, because breast cancer does not discriminate. 
    • The logo was designed by a survivor, Leslie Haines. See more of her creative work at lesliehaines.com

  • What is the difference between health & wellness?

    • Health is the goal and wellness is the active process of achieving it. 
    • Health – a state in which the physical body is free from disease
    • Wellness – an overall balance of a person’s physical, social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, environmental and occupational well-being
    • Wellness is achieved when someone strives for balance in their life by constantly making choices to further their health and fulfillment. 
    • Wellness has a direct influence on overall health.
