Annette Illing

Annette Illing is a 39-year-old mom from Withington who beat breast cancer due to a research study called BCAN-RAY. She joined the study despite no symptoms or family history and was flagged as high risk, leading to an early mammogram that caught the disease in its first stage. Annette has become an advocate for other women to join such trials and do regular self-checks. She has spoken publicly about her experience and has worked with several organizations to raise awareness about breast cancer. Annette is also a strong advocate for women's health and wellness.
