Lake Forest Resident Up for Award

Heather Gilbert is a finalist in Hero of Hope contest

Lake Forest's own Heather Gilbert has been nominated as a Hero of Hope sponsored by Conquer Magazine. Heather founded Breast Cancer Solutions, a nonprofit group that for 20 years has provided support and financial assistance to thousands of women with breast cancer throughout Southern California. My wife and I had the honor of working with Heather over the years and we know there are few people who can equal her energy, ethusiasm and dedication when it comes to helping others.
