It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there is a charity fashion event happening in Tampa Bay. Mia Williams joins Gayle Guyardo, the host of the nationally syndicated health and wellness show Bloom, to share more about the event. Cancer Life Organizing Consultant and three-time cancer survivor, Lisa Assetta, joins to share more about her personal story.

Three-time cancer survivor, Lisa Assetta, who was treated at Moffitt, reached out on the Cancer Crushers Facebook page in hopes to buy a face mask that caught her eye. She got that and more by striking up a friendship with Morales. They call each other "Survivor Sisters."

Lisa says she never misses a mammogram or a Rays game. The self-proclaimed super fan underwent surgery, radiation, chemo and immunotherapy at Moffitt Cancer Center. Today, Lisa is cancer free thanks to her incredible support system who helped her through recovery.

Assetta appeared on the WFLA program Daytime to talk about her journey and encourage people to join the Strides movement. Her own experience has enlightened her to the importance of breakthroughs in research.

BOSTON, MA: February 16, 2022 -- Today, Alignable’s network has chosen Lisa Assetta of Office Assistance Plus as Carrollwood’s 2022 Business Person Of The Year!
