163. Kelly Crump (Patient Advocate and Model Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer)

On today’s episode, I am speaking with Kelly Crump. Kelly is an illness influencer, patient advocate and model who is living and thriving with metastatic breast cancer. Kelly focuses on showing others that you do not have to be defined by your disease and that you can “live your life” and “do what you dream”. She was the first person to pose in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine with active breast cancer and the first to ever show their mastectomy scar in the publication. Kelly has trekked across the Sahara desert and climbed a 4,167m mountain in Morocco all whilst undergoing chemotherapy treatment for the disease. Kelly is American but permanently resides in London, England. On today’s episode, Kelly shares her story, the advocacy work she is doing, what living with metastatic breast cancer is really like, not putting on life on hold for cancer, her treatment for HER2+ breast cancer and more. You can follow her journey on Instagram and on Facebook.
