An additional video is available for purchase through the efforts of Nancy Gruici and her father, Emmett Gruici. Many women with IBC, and their families, have become strong advocates in helping to raise money and in helping to raise the public consciousness about the symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer. Nancy Gruici used her talent to make jewelry and sell it for the benefit of the IBC Research Foundation. We remember Nancy for her zest for life, for her efforts to tell others about IBC and its symptoms, and for her dedication to further the research of IBC. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something and Nancy found out what that something was for her and did it!! Thank you, Nancy. You admirably modeled advocacy for all of us. To order your copy of the video, please email Mr. Emmett Gruici.
