Television journalist Katie Couric and Susan G. Komen CEO Paula Schneider share a common experience in their experiences with cancer: There is a lot of advice they would offer their former selves.

One a caregiver and the other a patient, Katie and Paula have teamed up for Your Cancer Story – a platform designed to share patient stories to ensure an individual affected by a cancer diagnosis never feels alone.

“Keep your head up and keep walking forward. You never know where the path will take you,” Paula wrote in her letter to herself.

To help highlight breast cancer awareness month, Katie and Paula shared their stories and noted how the program can help raise awareness around breast cancer.
