More than 30 patients from the Women’s Cancer Program at The Blavatnik Family – Chelsea Medical Center at Mount Sinai attended a designer clothing “pop-up shop” on Friday, October 12, sponsored by the nonprofit group Fabulous and Fighting.
At the event, each woman picked out two free items of clothing donated by fashion houses in the New York City area and received free books and journals on breast cancer.
Fabulous and Fighting was created after Bethany Heinrich, Executive Director and Co-Founder, helped her mother navigate cancer treatments and noted that as patients’ weight fluctuated, they had trouble affording new, fashionable clothes that fit.
The nonprofit aims to empower women and boost their confidence as they face the challenges of cancer.
