"I feel Michelle's Place is serving a great need in the community and has been a wonderful support to me personally with my breast cancer." - Ginger Koontz

Ginger joined the Michelle's Place Board of Directors in 2008 after volunteering at Michelle's Place since 2004.  She continues to volunteer in the office and is now a breast cancer survivor (click here to read Ginger's Survivor Story).  She provides the support only a survivor can to other Michelle's Place survivors.  Ginger also participates on various committees at Michelle's Place.
