We are always grateful when our supporters share their “living with breast cancer stories”. We believe it helps everyone feel a little bit less alone in their breast cancer journey. Meet Alenxander Khenkin, who is bravely supporting his wife’s journey with breast cancer.
When a loved one faces a cancer battle, your world goes dark. Goals are hard to set and the concept of a tomorrow becomes a frightening one. So when that dark and frightening world got infiltrated by a ‘naked man’ in a pink tutu, it shined a little ray of light and put a little smile on our faces and that, in turn, made this fight more bearable. So for that, The Tutu Project will always hold a special place in our lives.
Father, husband and friend, Alexander Khenkin
