Mary Beth Gibson (standing) and Rene Bowditch co-founded “Beyond Boobs!” six years ago as a small group of women with breast cancer who came together to share love with one another throughout their treatment and healing process. Now, the group is a non-profit health organization at the MacDonald Army Health Center at Fort Eustis, Va., focusing on moving women beyond passive awareness of breast cancer to the point of taking the necessary steps to reduce risk and ensure early detection.
