Who Was Lara Macgregor?
Lara Macgregor is the founder of Hope Scarves. Lara was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in 2007 when she was 30 years old and seven months pregnant with her second child.
Lara received a package from a woman she had never met, but she shared a mutual friend.
Inside were beautiful scarves she wore while undergoing cancer treatment, as well as a note that said, “You can do this.”
The scarves were both practical and inspiring, and knowing that someone else had worn them while battling cancer gave Lara hope that she, too, could do it.
Lara attended a Young Survival Coalition Conference not long after she finished treatment. She packed several scarves in the hopes of passing them on to another woman, as had been so graciously done for her.
