Together We Can Save Lives Through Early Detection

Peggy Fleming, Olympic Gold Medal Figure Skater
In 1968, ABC televised the Winter Games live and in color for the first time ever. The enduring image from that coverage will always be of Peggy Fleming’s free-skating program, which won her the gold medal.
Since then, Peggy’s career has included television appearances and commercial endorsements. As an on air analyst for ABC Sports, she has covered national, world, and Olympic competitions.
In January of 1998, on the 30th anniversary of her gold medal, Peggy was diagnosed with breast cancer. Faced with what she called “another Olympics, a life Olympics,” Peggy decided to share her experience with the public so that other women would be strengthened. Today, she continues her efforts to promote breast cancer awareness, giving hope to millions of cancer patients.
