Alicia’s Story & the Mission Behind Journi For Two Alicia’s Story & the Mission Behind Journi For Two

Diagnosed with hormone positive breast cancer while pregnant in 2021, Alicia faced one of the most complex and emotional seasons of her life — fighting for her own health while protecting her unborn daughter. After undergoing a lumpectomy, chemotherapy during her third trimester, radiation, and additional surgery, her journey became one defined by self-advocacy, resilience, and faith. Inspired by the experience of “fighting for two,” she founded Journi For Two, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting pregnant women and mothers navigating cancer with emotional support, advocacy, education, and restorative care.

With few resources available for young women facing such a heavy decision, Tracy was forced to navigate her path largely on her own. But instead of letting that isolation define her journey, she transformed it into something powerful—founding BRCAStrong to ensure no one else would have to face it alone.
