Amanda Rice's Chick Mission: Fighting Cancer & Infertility
Description
Amanda Rices Chick Mission: Empowering Young Cancer Survivors to Preserve Fertility
Amanda Rice, a breast cancer survivor diagnosed in her thirties, launched the Chick Mission in 2017 to help women preserve their fertility during cancer treatment. The nonprofit provides grants for egg freezing in twelve states, including Texas, and has awarded over 800 grants, leading to 15 babies born and two more on the way. Rices advocacy has resulted in more than 20 states mandating fertility preservation coverage in certain health plans. Despite surging demand, Rice aims to change every state law, making grants obsolete and ensuring survivors can focus on life after treatment without this additional hurdle.
