Soroptimist International of Novato Annual Luncheon - Positivity and Optimism Winning the Day - Wednesday, October 5

Soroptimist International of Novato is pleased to announce that Laura Holmes Haddad, a cancer survivor and local author of This is Cancer: Everything You Need to Know from the Waiting Room, will be the honored guest speaker for our annual membership luncheon this year.

Laura, mother with two young children and wife to successful local business leader, was diagnosed with Stage IV inflammatory breast cancer in 2012 at the age of 37. Currently in remission and while transitioning from patient to survivor, Laura has started work as a patient advocate and speaker. After her cancer battle, Laura set out to share all the details she learned along the way -- she knew these details would help other patients, their families, and caregivers. Laura represented the patient perspective at the “Moonshot Roundtable” in March at UCSF, where she spoke to Vice President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden about her successful treatment. Laura was also a patient speaker at the American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life” and “Discovery Gala" events in San Francisco.
