Who: Lindsay Avner
Age: 25
What: Young People Who Rock
CNN anchor, Nicole Lapin interviews Linsday Avner, founder of Bright Pink in her weekly interview series, Young People Who Rock. The 23 year old volunteered to get a double mastectomy because virtually every woman in her life, her mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunts and cousins, suffered from or died of breast cancer.
Avner took control of her own destiny after a blood test revealed she had a genetic predisposition to the disease. She didn't want to live in fear. The series, Young People Who Rock, is focused on people under 30 -- from CEOs to entertainers to athletes to community and political leaders -- who are doing remarkable things.
