On Wednesday, July 27th, the Nassau County Council on Aging (NCCOA) will host Donna Deegan, who will share her story ofbeing a three-time breast cancer survivor, and about a scientific breakthrough,which Washington State University states may be the most extraordinary discovery in the history of medicine. The event, which is free and open to the public,will begin with a Meet and Greet at 9:45 a.m. followed by Deegan’s presentation at 10 a.m. and will be held at the NCCOA Senior Life Center, 1367 S. 18thStreet, Fernandina Beach.

Deegan is also a published author of the book The Good Fight, and recipient of Jacksonville Business Journal’s Women of Influence and the Enterprising Women’s Leadership awards. In 2003, she launched “The Donna Foundation” to help care for women battling breast cancer and in 2006 began working in conjunction with Mayo Clinic. The Donna Foundation has helped more than 9,000 women locally and donated more than $4 million in medical research funds for the initiation of Mayo Clinic’s Genomics Program. She has devoted her life
to helping others.
Come hear Donna speak on a genuine scientific break through in nutritional genomics
found to aid with current diseases and possibly prevent the onset of illness. You
will learn how you can naturally turn on your body’s own survival defenses to reduce
oxidative stress, which science has shown contributes to the body’s aging process.
Oxidative stress, or “free radical damage,” can cause genetic mutations and cell
death and is a proven cause of more than 220 diseases, including inflammation (the
root of disease), heart disease, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, high
blood pressure, cancer and much more.
