Riverside, California, USA
In 2012, at the age of 40, Carrie Madrid was diagnosed with Stage III Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma breast cancer. Carrie endured a mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and reconstructive surgery. As a divorced mother of three children, Carrie struggled financially and emotionally throughout her “cancer extravaganza” and got to know other patients going through similar struggles. Committed to positivity and a strong belief that she could be a role model for others faced with a life threatening diagnosis, “Laughter & Lip Gloss” became her motto. Barely out of treatment herself, Carrie decided she needed to create a non-profit to assist both male and female breast cancer patients financially and emotionally, and incorporated The CARE Project, Inc. in 2013. Before cancer, Carrie was just surviving; since cancer she is thriving and is grateful to be able to live her life’s purpose of loving and supporting breast cancer patients.
Mission Statement: Breast Cancer Hub and The CARE Project, Inc., share common goals in raising awareness, providing support and normalizing the conversation about breast cancer whether the patient is male or female. We want to help save lives by NOT staying quiet and getting the proper information out into the world.
