Michelle Whitlock, Out to Make Cancer History

Donny Granger
Magnify

“Michelle is a cervical cancer survivor, women’s health advocate, author and a true inspiration! She was diagnosed with the disease in 2001 at the young age of 26; as a result of her treatment, she lost her ability to have children. Her battle with cervical cancer left her determined to spread the word about prevention.” Lindsey Wiegmann

Michelle speaks with clarity and confidence about her experiences, radiating a genuine enthusiasm. “We know the cause, we have a vaccine to prevent it, and we have two great screenings. No other woman should have her life or fertility jeopardized because of this disease.” Her buoyancy is inspiring and empowering. “My cancer is no longer this horrible event in my life, but instead, somehow, a gift.  It gave me a new voice; a voice with which to speak out.  I will talk to anyone who will listen.”
