Did you Meet Donna, the 2010 Honorary Survivor?

“Breast cancer didn’t kill me; it gave me life,” said Donna Minnick, the 2010 Komen Indianapolis Race for the Cure Honorary Survivor. Donna is a 40-year breast cancer survivor. Diagnosed when she was 29, at a time when the word “cancer” was difficult to even talk about – let alone diagnose, treat and survive. As a wife and mother of two young children, suddenly she was confronted with life and death issues raised by her cancer. But, as Donna explained “because of all of the experiences, feelings, emotions, unanswered questions and challenges I faced, I began to ‘live’ rather than ‘exist’. I began to cherish people, experiences, challenges and everyday living.”

Donna is an extraordinary woman.  A woman who points to a 15” scar that runs from her armpit to her waist, Donna represents how far we’ve come in terms of treatment. A woman who has no major or minor pectoral muscles and limited physical strength, yet has climbed mountains, rappels, hikes and camps – she represents hope. Donna’s story is much like the Komen story – the power of one individual to make an incredible difference in the world of breast cancer. Her resume is extensive and quite impressive.

After her diagnosis, she spent her personal and professional life devoted to serving the needs of others in health care. She volunteers her time, serves as an inspirational public speaker and after retirement in 1999, spent several years out West “experiencing life”.  Donna is the story of life. She said her life began with cancer and she has and is continuing to live life to the absolute fullest!
