Barry student nominated ‘hero’Posted: 11.04.09 MIAMI SHORES | Barry University student Andrea Ivory has knocked on more than 18,000 doors educating women about breast cancer. In recognition of her work, she is among 10 finalists for CNN’s (Cable News Network) “Hero of the Year” award. Ivory’s own battle with breast cancer in 2004 led her to start the Florida Breast Health Initiative. Since 2006, she and fellow volunteers have spent weekends knocking on doors in low-income communities throughout south Florida to educate women about the importance of early detection for breast cancer. Ivory, 50, is a second-year student in Barry’s School of Adult and Continuing Education, majoring in public administration. “The only thing that we have to fight this disease and lower the mortality rate is early detection,” Ivory said. “We are the troops on the front lines. No woman needs to die from breast cancer. I can’t be a doctor, but I know I can save a life. Every time I knock on the door, it’s a chance to do that.” The winner of the Hero of the Year award will be announced during the network’s “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute,” airing Thanksgiving night.
