Author, Epilepsy and Cancer Survivor Andrea Nugent Featured in Soon the Cure 2012 Campaign

Atlanta, GA, November 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- If you want to know what it means to come through a test with a powerful testimony, meet 43-year-old Epilepsy and Breast Cancer survivor, Andrea Nugent. Recently featured in the Miami Herald, CBS News and Women’s Health Magazine, her triumphant story is one of courage, and turning pain into purpose.

Andrea was diagnosed with Epilepsy at 27 and at 39, doctors found cancer in Andrea’s breast, ovary and lymphatic system. She was too sick to care for her then 2-year-old son (now 6), Zachary Nelson. But her large Caribbean family rallied around her and supported Andrea through her rough ordeal.

She knows everyone isn’t so fortunate. That’s why through Andrea Nugent’s nonprofit organization, B.i.o.n.i.c. Girls Inc. (Beauty is Optional: Newer Improved Changed), she provides free transportation, household cleaning, and more to breast cancer patients who need help so desperately.

To raise money to support her wonderful efforts, Andrea has published a children’s book, Mommy is Still Mommy: Cancer Can't Change That. “Breast cancer is not a death sentence,” Andrea Nugent told Women’s Health Magazine when asked the one thing she wants women to know.

She is living proof that the disease can become inspiration to fuel your life’s purpose. For more information about Andrea visit www.andreanugent.com
