Pink Tank Project- Brenda's Story

The Pink Tank Project was developed to raise breast cancer awareness among Minnesota National Guard Soldiers and Airmen and the general public.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. The Pink Tank Project demonstrates that our Soldiers and Airmen are equally as likely to be identified with breast cancer as the general public.

Army Sgt. First Class Brenda Woods had breast cancer in both breasts. After having a double mastectomy she feels her battle with the disease was easy compared to what other women go thru. Her outlook on life has changed and as a survivor of five years she feels free.
