The Franca Sozzani Fund for Preventive Genomics

#FashionMeetsScience : “The fear leading up to my preventive mastectomy was the most challenging part. As a single mother and a model, I had concerns about my career and my family. But in the end, my health and peace of mind were worth it.” Supermodel @biancabalti_ !!re!!_039;s testimonial is one of freedom from fear and uncertainty and the empowerment that came with her genetic testing journey. Upon discovering her heightened susceptibility to breast cancer due to BRCA1 gene mutation, she made the courageous decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy. She herself is a poignant reminder of the pivotal significance of early intervention and proactive measures. @biancabalti_ !!re!!_039;s presence and words serve as an inspiration to women across the globe, urging them to take proactive control of their health through genetic testing which results in early prevention. With a family history intertwined with breast cancer, her emphasis on the transformative potential of genomics resonated profoundly. @biancabalti_ !!re!!_039;s story shows that preventive genomics holds the key to averting life-threatening diseases. Her tireless advocacy around breast cancer awareness and genetic testing aligns with our overarching mission of @franca_fund and @genomes2people : the pursuit of precision health accessible to all, where illnesses become something of the past!
