The passion, motivation, and personal experience of living with metastatic breast cancer for the past 9 years drives Lesley Glenn’s advocacy. She partners with communities, researchers and organizations, to aid the funding of research for a cure, bringing awareness to this overlooked stage of breast cancer, and support to those who live daily with Metastatic Breast Cancer.
With a bachelors of science in organizational leadership, Lesley has been actively involved in advocacy since 2015, training with the inaugural Hear My Voice Volunteer class presented by Living Beyond Breast Cancer. She was invited back as a mentor in 2018, and awarded the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Leadership Volunteer Award in the Fall of the same year. She is the Co-Founder of the Annual Make Good Moves, Climb for a Cure (www.climbforacure.net), an event held annually in Southern California and Southern Oregon that funds research for a cure.
Lesley enjoys working with researchers and other stakeholders in the metastatic breast cancer field. She is a member of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance, Susan G. Komen’s Advocates in Science, on the scientific advisory committee for the Love Research Army, and a consumer reviewer with the DOD-CDMRP, PCORI and Komen.
She recently launched her biggest endeavor, Project Life, which is a virtual wellness house for those living with metastatic breast cancer and their loved ones. You can follow the initiative on twitter @projectlifembc. Lesley currently lives in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon with her 2 rescue pups and 1 rescue cat (who thinks he is one of the dogs).
