Promise Me
Promise Me is the story of how the vow to her sister launched Nancy on a thirty-year-long mission to change the way the world thought of, spoke of, and treated breast cancer. Brinker’s unparalleled success at turning $200 and a list of would-be donors into a movement that has saved the lives of millions of women was recognized by President Obama in August 2009, when he awarded Brinker the Presidential Medal of Freedom. "In the months after making that promise," the President noted, ”Nancy lay awake at night wondering if one person can really make a difference. Nancy’s life is the answer.“
