AMERICAN FORK, UT – Special guests Congressman Jason Chaffetz, bestselling author and blogger Stephanie Nielsen and singer/songwriter Ashley Hess will speak to breast cancer survivors at a special luncheon hosted by Dr. Mark Jensen, Plastic Surgeon with Revere Health on October 5, 2015 from 12:00 to 1:30 pm.
Dr. Mark Jensen and his wife started this luncheon for breast cancer patients several years ago as a way to honor the fight against breast cancer.
This year’s event will include keynote speaker, Congressman Jason Chaffetz. Chaffetz’s mother passed away after a long fight with cancer in 1995. It was the generosity of the Huntsman Cancer Center that initially inspired Chaffetz to become involved in government.
Bestselling author and blogger Stephanie Nielsen will speak about her experiences undergoing multiple reconstruction surgeries after she was severely burned in a plane crash in 2008.
An important aspect of the annual luncheon is participation in a “pay it forward” project. Each year, attendees put together gift bags for future breast cancer patients. The bags include a small gift from local businesses, as well as cards with an encouraging message from luncheon attendees who are currently on or finishing their breast cancer journey.
Pay it forward project participation will take place before the event begins.
Media is welcome to attend the keynote presentations.
