North Carolina State University's Coach Kay Yow died in 2009 after a 22-year battle with breast cancer. She was one of the most successful women’s basketball coaches in history, amassing more than 700 wins during her 38-year career. Yet, she is more than just a sports icon, she was a helper, someone who left a lasting legacy of helping others on and off the court. Yow had the foresight to start the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in 2007 before she died in order to support women battling every type of cancer. The organization has raised $8.78 million dollars to help in the fight cancers that affect women. In today's episode, we talk to a breast cancer survivor who shares her story through the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to show other women they are not alone. We will also talk to Jenny Palmateer who played for Yow in college, was an assistant coach with her for a decade, and credits Yow with teaching her some of her most important life lessons.
