2012 Annual Report - After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

The
Unexpected
Journey
2012 Annual Report
welcomes
Dear Friends,
In 2012, ABCD celebrated many highlights
–some expected, some serendipitously
unplanned. Our milestones inspired the
theme of this year’s report: ‘The Unexpected
Journey’.
Every family touched by breast cancer
undergoes their own journey – and ABCD
is here to assist, guide, support, share
and listen along the way. Our 1:1 model
of mentoring is one that is becoming a
national survivorship model for participants,
their mentors, our volunteers, and our staff.
The standard of care we envision is one
where every person who hears a breast
cancer diagnosis is offered mentorship
support. We’ve seen first-hand the positive
outcomes that result.
Of course, the ‘headline’ behind ABCD’s
own unexpected journey last year was
the loss of Y-ME, the 34 year-old national
breast cancer support organization whose
free hotline served tens of thousands of
callers across the country. On the heels of
Chicago-based Y-ME’s closing , a team of
ABCD board members and staff moved
quickly to make connections; navigate
the asset purchase process; and recruit a
talented group of Y-ME volunteers to help
us merge the helpline resource with our
mentorship principles. In fact, those Y-ME
volunteers had already banded together
and developed a business plan of their
own. The combination of Y-ME alumnae
with ABCD’s already 350+ mentor corps
exponentially expanded our ability to
provide premier 1:1 helpline mentor support.
As of November ABCD added coast-tocoast helpline mentors taking calls 9am
- 5pm each weekday with expanded hours
planned by summer 2013 and 24/7 service
anticipated soon thereafter. Even better –
ABCD has converted 30% of helpline callers
to ABCD’s signature service, individualized
1:1 match mentoring since the expansion.
Our number of ‘mentor matches’ has grown
by 170% as of this June 2013 writing over
June 2012!
ABCD made news in many other ways in 2012,
as well. Our staff expanded with the addition of
new program specialists and communications
professionals. We moved into new quarters in
Glendale, Wisconsin, accommodating larger
teams of regular volunteers and preparing us
for further growth. And ‘Date with a Plate,’
our annual ‘friend-raiser/fundraiser’ broke all
records with attendance of 1,100+ and record
financial support for our evening held at the
Oldenburg Farm.
The ambitious growth goals we laid out
in our strategic plan called for expanding
our services beyond Milwaukee to extend
throughout Wisconsin and the U.S. ABCD
One-to-One Helpline Mentoring services
are available nationally, and we now count
callers from every state among those
served (Mentor Matches were completed in
27 new states in just the first 3 months of
2013). ABCD is truly becoming a national
resource. We have help from those of you
who are actively involved in mentorship,
members of our Medical and Community
Advisory Council, our talented staff and
our generous donors who invest in not just
the number of services we provide but our
vision to transform the expectations for
breast cancer support.
Throughout a tumultuous year, our
commitment remained the same: ABCD
continues to provide free, personalized
information and one-to-one support for people
affected by breast cancer – patients, families
and friends. This has been our commitment
for the past thirteen years. We thank you for
all you’ve done to make our impact and our
growth a reality.
As we launch 2013, ABCD continues its growth
journey under the exceptional stewardship
of Board President Mark Young, and an
energized Board and staff. I’m grateful for the
opportunity to work closely with so many of
the talented people who share our mission.
We all appreciate your involvement and your
interest – and we look forward to the milestones
to come.

President 2012

...providing personalized, one-to-one support
for every step of the journey...from diagnosis,
to treatment and beyond.
Cynthia and Claudia
When asked to share a little about
themselves and their journey together,
Claudia and Cynthia are not at a loss for
words. In fact, they fondly recall that their
initial “introduction” phone call lasted over
two hours. That was a surprise and, of
course, that was just the beginning.
Claudia was diagnosed with breast cancer
in 1999 and felt blessed to have great family
support and a strong faith. Chemotherapy
and radiation, however, brought on all the
warned about symptoms and side effects
and then some. She hunkered down in her
faith and trusted in the peace she found in
her belief in the Lord.
But a friend of Claudia’s repeatedly said
she should go to a support group; she
begged Claudia to just try one. So she
finally agreed to go and wound up meeting
the guest speaker that day - Melodie Wilson
Oldenburg, the founder of ABCD. Claudia
says the story of her special friendship with
Cynthia began with meeting Melodie.
Moved by ABCD and its mission and
inspired by Melodie, Claudia declared that
as soon as she finished treatment, she would
become a mentor. Since then she has been
formally matched with more than a dozen
women and has “informally” mentored
countless others. Those who turn to her
marvel at her generosity and resilience.
Enter Cynthia who was diagnosed in 2007
and overwhelmed. Facing chemotherapy
and radiation, she knew there was support
out there that could help her face her
diagnosis head on. The ABCD brochure
from her healthcare provider intrigued her
so she made a phone call and ended up
finding that missing piece.
“Claudia shared her experience in a very
personal way. That really helped me. She
completed the puzzle.” When faced with a
recurrence in 2009, Cynthia again turned
to Claudia, finding endless encouragement,
especially to continue in her faith. Cynthia
was so impressed with the customized
match ABCD made for her that she
describes it as “above and beyond
what I - and I think we - expected.”
The power of one-to-one spoke to them in
unexpected ways. The growth of their bond
involved spiritual and emotional support, as
much as sharing medical experiences. In fact,
assuring their match was personalized beyond
diagnostic facts is a signature of ABCD’s
distinctive approach to one-to one support.
Claudia found that ABCD opened her to the
power of one-to-one beyond the mentoring
relationship. Her experience made her look
at her involvement and connection in other
areas of her life and it impacted many
established friendships. Claudia notes that
“just being an ‘open ear’ enhanced her selfawareness and encouraged her to focus
more on paying it forward.”
Cynthia cites ABCD as the catalyst for
further education and exploration of how
to better help the community. Almost three
years ago, Cynthia founded a nonprofit and
Claudia serves as Board Chair. At a simple
dinner where Cynthia shared initial ideas and
paperwork, Claudia committed that she and
her friend would “learn as they go” together.
Cynthia’s one phrase to describe Claudia is
“a pillar of strength” who has loved, supported
and encouraged Cynthia’s ideas for service.
Claudia didn’t even need a phrase, summing
up Cynthia in one word: “unstoppable.”
They both express extreme love and
gratitude for ABCD, what it does, what it
stands for, and the lifelong friendships it
created for them. As Claudia says about
breast cancer and Cynthia, “they both
changed my life in unexpected ways.”
“...assuring their match was personalized beyond diagnostic facts is a
signature of ABCD’s distinctive approach to one-to one support.”
Katie and Angela
There’s an undeniable, “meant-to-be”
connection here - their grandfathers grew
up together, and their soon to be born
children have the same due date - but
according to Katie, “It was ABCD, they so
connected us.” Their mentoring relationship
was never hindered or slowed down by the
fact that they have never been in the same
city; they bonded immediately.
Angela was 27 when she was diagnosed
with breast cancer. She faced intense
treatment, and even though her family
presented an “all hands on deck” approach,
she decided it would be good to talk with
someone who had “been there, done that.”
ABCD matched her with her mentor, who
stuck with her through treatment, providing
personalized, ongoing support. When she
was done, she wanted to give back.
Katie was diagnosed when she was just
20. Her friends helped her research and
become a better advocate for herself, her
boyfriend (now husband) always supported
her decisions and her family went to all
doctors’ appointments. But because she
was so young, everyone was in shock; she
needed to share with someone who had
gone through it as a young woman and
was doing well.
ABCD works diligently to truly match
participants and mentors in both background
and personal concerns. The similarities
in their diagnoses and families, as well as
concerns about having children, were but
the first of many connections for these two.
“...she needed to share with someone who had gone
through it as a young woman and was doing well.
When they first talked, Angela’s goal was
to figure out what Katie’s support system
looked like and what she needed most from
Angela. They both found solid support in
family and friends but learned that having
this one person who knows what you are
going through is a distinctive, powerful
connection. They often presented each other
with a perspective that no one else could.
ABCD has helped them grow, too. Katie is
thankful for all the ways ABCD allows her
to give back, especially after she feels she
has gotten so much from ABCD. Angela
says ABCD “helped me to move on and
realize how much I had accomplished.”
Going through the process again with the
women she has mentored has helped her
become at peace with her own process.
Katie recalls that she didn’t always want to
be seen or be out and about. In the midst
of all the appointments that go along with
treatment, it was a relief to not to have
one more thing on the calendar. “In the
technology age, it’s so easy to communicate,”
Katie says. After they spoke a few times and
found their rapport was strong; it was easy
to trust each other communicating through
text, phone and email.
The power of one-to-one carries across miles
and through the internet. It has brought
Angela and Katie to each other to find so
many more connections than they already
knew they had. In their friendship now, they
still provide energy and support. Angela
describes Katie as “sunshine”, while Katie uses
the word “marvelous” to describe Angela.
Learning at the photo shoot for this story
that their pregnancies were on the same
“schedule” they learned again that their pasts
and futures connected in surprising ways.
They decided it was only fitting that ABCD
connected them to support and be there
for each other – and for other young women.
Mimi and Ann
In 1974 ABCD’s founder, Melodie Wilson,
was just 24 years old and breast cancer
was not on her radar.
Back then, women did not talk about breast
cancer. If they did, it was only in whispers.
On May 13th that year a ground-breaking
documentary challenged the silence. It
was entitled, “Why Me?”
Debuting on a Los Angeles television
station and featuring Lee Grant as narrator,
“Why Me?” shared the stories of several
women who were willing to break all taboos
and share their breast cancer journeys. In
no small way, their courage gave birth to
the world of peer support in breast cancer.
At the time, the film was considered so
controversial that Ms. Grant was one of
the few actresses willing to speak with the
director; her career was still recovering
from the blacklists developed during the
“war on communism.” Many TV stations
would not air the documentary.
Yet just four years later, after meeting in
a doctor’s office waiting room, Ann Marcou
and Mimi Kaplan began providing peerto-peer support and reliable information
to women diagnosed with breast cancer.
Answering calls from a kitchen table, they
vowed no woman would face breast cancer
alone. Not long afterwards they recruited
other volunteers and moved into donated
space at a local YWCA.
Y-ME formally arrived.
And they never looked back. Because for
them, just like for Melodie, this unexpected
journey was personal.
Over three decades, Y-ME grew into the
nation’s largest breast cancer organization
dedicated solely to providing support and
resources to patients. From workshops to a
wigs and prostheses “bank,” Y-ME offered a
full menu of support services. Its signature
service – a 24/7 Hotline that provided peer
support in more than 150 languages – was
of such high quality that when Melodie was
developing the idea that became ABCD, she
visited with Y-ME leaders in Chicago.
Melodie saw Y-ME as further evidence of the
unmet need in peer breast cancer support
and its Hotline as an ideal complement to
the niche of personalized one-to-one match
support she knew was missing. In spirit, Y-ME
and ABCD were quite connected.
Then, in July 2012 Y-ME closed its doors,
leaving the breast cancer support community
reeling. Just a few weeks later, ABCD’s Board
voted to expand the ABCD Helpline, using
the talents of committed ABCD mentors.
As an organization built on the wisdom of
survivors and their loved ones, ABCD was
well positioned to return 24/7 survivor-based
support to the community. A professional
volunteer organization, ABCD had been
preparing for strategic growth, working
increasingly behind the scenes with
healthcare professionals as they began
to more formally incorporate survivorship
care into their patient-centered approaches.
Then television again played a surprising
part in changing the world of breast cancer
support.
ABCD Board member and mentor, Jody
Furlong, lives in Chicago and one night
she saw a news report that featured
former Y-ME volunteers and their plan to
return 24/7 peer support to the breast
cancer community. They sought a partner
nonprofit organization.
Soon ABCD was meeting with Y-ME
“alumnae” in Chicago and across the
country. By October, most Y-ME alumnae
were volunteering at ABCD and in early
November 2012 the ABCD Helpline
expanded to include mentors from ABCD
and Y-ME.
As we build toward returning 24/7 peer
support to the world of breast cancer the
old adage comes to mind: when one door
closes another opens. Now, we work to
enlist all of ABCD’s supporters in this next
unexpected journey.
