After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Ontisar Freelain and her husband held their first Beyond A Mammogram 5K Run/Walk in Hyde Park. 100 percent of the funds raised will go towards research of genetics and how a person’s DNA increases the risk for developing cancer at the University of Chicago Medical Center, according to Beyond A Mammogram's GoFundMe website.
The mission of Beyond A Mammogram is to increase the conversation about breast health among women, men and young girls. Beyond A Mammogram provides free presentations on breast health awareness at local schools and community organizations throughout the year.
