Patti's diagnosis with breast cancer has inspired her to continue to be an advocate for other cancer survivors to help them through their journey. Her passion for advocacy has led her to speak to cancer support groups and individuals and has led her to be featured in several newspaper articles, a calendar and in many online blogs.
