Jennifer Lewandowski, age 32, is the girl next door - assuming you live in Dartmouth.  She is an entrepreneur, writer, Ironman triathlete, closet People reader and a hater of diets.

 

In the fall of 2014 she noticed a small lump in her breast and was diagnosed with everything from a sprained muscle to breast cancer. Horrified by how LITTLE information there was on how to deal with breast cancer as a young woman, she set out to make a change.

 

Realizing that there wasn't enough material written in a language that appealed to her demographic, Jen started Pacing in Pink - a physical and mental challenge that would cover 506.4KM in 365 days (12 marathons in 12 months) while raising funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

 

These funds will help YOUNG women learn more about breast health, how to perform self exams and what to expect when you're the only one in the mammography room who was born in the '80s.
