Meet Our Members

A motorcycle engine is comprised of many different and unique parts. It takes a collaborative unit to power change.

We’re a diverse group of caring women who possess a wide range of talents, backgrounds and professions. Though each of us bring value to the organization in our own way, everyone involved exhibits one common trait—dedication.

Nancy - Member since 2013

I joined Krebs-Netzwerk because:
I needed to be part of something that supported women (and men) who are going through breast cancer. I saw all the pain, suffering and hardships that were caused from the disease and the harsh side effects from the standard treatments. I saw people who were less knowledgeable than me struggling to live through the horror, looking for ways to deal with everything and I just wanted to see if there was something I could do to help.

Have I been personally touched by breast cancer:
I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer in July 2008 Initially I was told that I had to have a mastectomy. I dealt with the dx by combining chemotherapy and also using many complementary and alternative methods of healing to counter the nasty side effects of the toxic treatments. I refused surgery, additional chemotherapy treatments and radiation. My oncologist tells me that she cannot find anything wrong with me now. July 2013 will be my 5-year mark.

Personal:
I am divorced and have a daughter who, along with her husband, has recently had twin girls. Currently I am working doing tech support, customer service, but have owned my own business in the past and have experience in many different types of work from financial, real estate and insurance, as well as sales and marketing. In my “spare” time, I like to make jewelry, mostly earrings and bracelets. But I also sew and make things for the house. I have even tried making a few little quilts for the babies.
