Viviane Pedruco's story

I am a passionate interior designer, having transitioned from an 18-year career flying helicopters for the oil and gas industry. In October 2023, I helped my friends at PW raise funds for Bellringer and cheered on our team at the finish line, all the while unaware that I already had metastatic breast cancer deeply affecting my spine, which completely paralyzed me a month later.

I am beyond grateful to help fundraise for cancer research. When I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in December, my oncologist told me that without advancements in research and new drugs, I would have had only nine months to live. Well, it’s been seven months now, and here I am, looking forward to a long, vibrant life and cheering my friends at the finish line in October!
