Getting up for work every day is hard.  Now, imagine doing it every day…for over two decades…suffering with cancer.  That’s what Kay Yow did.  And, she did it possibly better than anyone else ever could have, touching lives and helping hopes and dreams come true.  Clearly, she helped mold a generation of young women who will be successful and live much better lives because of Kay.
