Pink Ribbon Girls   (PRG)   are young breast cancer  SURVIVORS , who are  ENCOURAGED  by their shared experiences, to  EDUCATE  and  INSPIRE  others to  GROW  and  LIVE  beyond breast cancer. This is Our Story… PRG originated in Cincinnati, Ohio in October 2001 when  Tracie Metzger  and  Dawn Harvey  realized there was no specific group for young women with breast cancer. A support network was formed in hopes that young women could meet other women facing similar fears, issues and concerns.
PRG Founders Tracie Metzger  was 30 years old when she was diagnosed and had two children ages three and eleven months. She found the lump during a self-breast-exam when her daughter stopped nursing. After visits to the OB/GYN and breast surgeon, they told her it was probably a clogged milk duct or a fibroadenoma. She was told to wait a few months to see if it went away. She wasn’t comfortable with that and insisted on surgery. When the lump was removed, it was malignant. Stage I Breast Cancer, September 8th, 2000. Dawn Harvey  found the lump on her 34th birthday when her son was two and her daughter was four months old. Just two months earlier at her eight week postpartum visit, the lump was not detected by her doctor. She went to her OB/GYN that day and he told her it was probably a clogged milk duct or a cyst, and to have it rechecked in a month. Her visit to the breast surgeon followed and he told her it was probably a fibroadenoma because it didn’t feel like cancer. When the lump was removed, it was malignant. Stage II Breast Cancer, October 3rd, 2000.
Attitude ・ Life goes on… ・ The disease is serious, but we don’t have to be. ・ Instead of asking, “Why me?” ask, “Why not me?” ・ It is important to promote normalcy through treatment. Community ・ We are not only an educational resource for our members, but  for the community.  ・ As survivors, we are role models. ・ We collaborate with other groups to act as advocates in the  fight against breast cancer. Family Matters ・ This journey involves your family and we want to help them too. Our Beliefs
Structure ・ We are a volunteer organization, guided by the co-founders and  a volunteer board. ・ We want to form a strong volunteer base for the future. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
We… ,[object Object],[object Object],Our Mission Peggy Sullivan Age: 32 // Diagnosed June '99 and Feb '02 Sat., May 28th: Being a survivor, I cherish family time more than ever. Scrap booking with Shannon gives us a creative outlet to preserve life's memories, which seem even more precious after all that we've been through. Times like these and the support of other young survivors in PRG help me realize that life can go on after cancer. And what a wonderful life it is!
We… Encourage Giving Back to the Community Our Mission Our donations have touched the lives of those involved with: ・ Growing Up Female Study ・ Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation - “ Kids for the Cure” Sponsorship ・ The Pink Ribbon/Chris Collinsworth Pro Scan Foundation ・ The UC Barrett Breast Cancer Center ・ Casting for Recovery

  • 2. Pink Ribbon Girls (PRG) are young breast cancer SURVIVORS , who are ENCOURAGED by their shared experiences, to EDUCATE and INSPIRE others to GROW and LIVE beyond breast cancer. This is Our Story… PRG originated in Cincinnati, Ohio in October 2001 when Tracie Metzger and Dawn Harvey realized there was no specific group for young women with breast cancer. A support network was formed in hopes that young women could meet other women facing similar fears, issues and concerns.
  • 3. PRG Founders Tracie Metzger was 30 years old when she was diagnosed and had two children ages three and eleven months. She found the lump during a self-breast-exam when her daughter stopped nursing. After visits to the OB/GYN and breast surgeon, they told her it was probably a clogged milk duct or a fibroadenoma. She was told to wait a few months to see if it went away. She wasn’t comfortable with that and insisted on surgery. When the lump was removed, it was malignant. Stage I Breast Cancer, September 8th, 2000. Dawn Harvey found the lump on her 34th birthday when her son was two and her daughter was four months old. Just two months earlier at her eight week postpartum visit, the lump was not detected by her doctor. She went to her OB/GYN that day and he told her it was probably a clogged milk duct or a cyst, and to have it rechecked in a month. Her visit to the breast surgeon followed and he told her it was probably a fibroadenoma because it didn’t feel like cancer. When the lump was removed, it was malignant. Stage II Breast Cancer, October 3rd, 2000.
