Hi!! I'm Emily! A year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The journey has been difficult but I feel empowered. Ready to help others!!
We would like to thank you for supporting Emily Behrens in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love that I feel more empowered than I ever have. It's time for me to lean into myself. Lean into a healthy lifestyle. Really learn who I am as a woman. It's time to release any inhibitions and explore things I've always wanted to explore. I love the relationships I've developed with other women. The comradeerie is powerful. It's time to live the life I've always wanted.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by being a loving and caring human. I stay fabulous by educating others on breast cancer. I stay fabulous by caring for those I love with passion. I stay fabulous by exploring new and exciting experiences for myself, like pole dance and roller derby. I stay fabulous by learning to love myself, my age, and my newfound strength by beating breast cancer.
What would you do with the $40,000?I'd love to give back to my cancer institute in my home town. These people have supported me and helped me in my toughest struggle. Additionally, if I'm feeling strong enough and well enough, I'd love to go back to school at 53 years old to study radiology. To be able to help others in my situation would be the most gratifying. I love all who gave me all the support and love, so I'd love to be that for others.
