April 22, 2011 - Heidi Floyd
When Heidi Floyd was pregnant with her fourth child she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Most of the doctors she saw said she had to terminate her pregnancy in order to have chemo to save her life. Not wanting to lose her baby she found help in one unlikely place, her employer Vera Bradley. Heidi learned that The Vera Bradley Foundation supports research at Indiana University at the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Research Laboratories. The Foundation has raised millions of dollars for research to find a cure. Now Heidi is a passionate advocate, travelling across the country, telling her story.
