“You Can Do ThiFighting Cancer and Standing for a Cause with Lara MacGregor

At 30 years old and 7 months pregnant, @lara_macgregor was diagnosed with breast cancer.

After being gifted headscarves accompanied by a note that said “You can do this” during her treatment, she founded @hopescarves, bringing hope and community to thousands of people.
