Perspectives S34/Ep47 Turning a mirage into a mission in service to others

When Anisa Palmer was on tour in the Iraqi desert she looked up and saw a familiar image. It was her mother. A woman she'd lost to breast cancer when Anisa was only 5 years old. She'd struggled with losing her mom for some time. Seeing this mirage in the desert heat gave Palmer a message. Her work, once her military service ended would be in helping women like her mom. 12 years ago, she founded I Will Survive Inc. an Atlanta-based nonprofit providing early awareness, health and wellness support and financial support for women battling breast cancer.
