Elissa has always known what it means to win and to succeed. But a few years ago after a life-changing diagnosis, Elissa’s approach to success and her inner fight, became more important than ever. Elissa’s story will leave audiences inspired, confident, and determined to find their own success – whatever that may mean to them.
At 34, Elissa faced a Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer diagnosis, just before her daughter’s first birthday. Her fighting spirit wouldn’t let her sit back, or simply try to survive. Instead, in her 5th round of chemo, Elissa launched WeGotThis.org – the world’s first nonprofit cancer gift registry. WeGotThis.org provides a free platform for cancer thrivers to comfortably request the items they really need, and gives their loved ones the chance to support them in a meaningful way.
Elissa’s unique story and incredible approach to life has the power to shift the mindset of others who may be feeling stuck or in need of inspiration.
It’s something that can encourage growth, resilience and connection in both individuals and organizations.
"Not only was she a joy to work with, she was an expert story teller and presenter. Her story, execution, and overall partnership far exceeded our expectations.”
Elissa is a truly inspiring person. Everyone’s life is touched by cancer in some way, yet we so often don’t know how to support people effectively. Elissa brings incredible passion and grace in the face of adversity. I’m so impressed by the work she and her team are doing at WeGotThis.org, and I urge everyone to support her!”
