Two months after moving across the country with her fiancé for work, 32-year-old nonprofit executive, Emily Rich, was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer. A strong advocate for amplifying women's voices, Emily is passionate about empowering women to listen to their bodies, become their own healthcare advocates in partnership with their care team, and to support each other through all of life’s challenges. She and her husband had never thought about preserving their fertility until they were faced with the risk of losing it. With the help of Progyny and an extraordinary team of Oncofertility specialists, Emily and Ian were prepared for their future family plans. Two years later, they are thrilled to be expecting their first child in February 2022.
