About the Cause
B the Light is a non-profit charity, started in 2016 in honor of Brenda Plinke, or Aunt “B” as she was known to her family and friends. Aunt B was an 18-year metastatic breast cancer survivor. She lived by the motto “Never Give Up Hope” and inspired all who knew her.
B the Light honors her legacy by coordinating “HOPE Getaways” during or after treatment. Our motto is “Offering HOPE to breast cancer survivors, one getaway at a time.”
The physical, emotional and financial stresses of this disease are devastating. Women who endure chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer often suffer from anxiety, depression and PTSD following treatment. In many cases, they have had their identities as women robbed from them.
According to the American Psychological Association, “When one member of a family has cancer, the whole family is affected.” HOPE Getaways will allow a survivor to join their family on a healing journey back to feeling “whole” again, without the financial burden of travel expenses. Your sponsorship will have a direct impact on the lives of women affected in our community and throughout the state of Minnesota.
You will also learn about other programs and events B the Light is working on for 2020 to support breast cancer survivors!
