Summary: A recipient of a Master of Arts in Human Resource Development and a Bachelor of Arts in Community and Human Services, Ms Charron Walker’s accomplishments reached beyond her battle with cancer to become a recovery volunteer, a teacher assistant for special education, and a financial mentor. Additionally, Ms Walker is affiliated with the American Cancer Society and is a volunteer at St. Vincent's Health Care in the Breast Health Center. Diagnosed at the age of 32 with breast cancer, she was found to have had to endure a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and 5 years of hormone therapy. “One of the hardest things about having cancer”, she states, “is the feeling of a loss of control. I survived a physical and emotional battle with cancer, which has given me the gift of a new outlook on life. I don't worry about the small stuff; I strive to live life to the fullest. I am a 14-year breast cancer Conqueror who has traveled this road, and is still walking in faith want to help others on their personal journey.” Consequently, Ms Walker went on to become the CEO and Founder of Young Survivors Network, Inc. Her passion is reflected in her mission statement: “Our mission is to educate, support, and advocate for young women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. We also equip these women in our community with information and a network of caring members, that are willing to give them the best chance available to cope with cancer.” Ms Walker is the author of My Purpose God's Plan.
