At two months pregnant with her son, Heidi Floyd, a happily married mother of three (and now of four), was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Heidi has become an advocate for the cause. She has spoken to thousands of men and women across the country at intimate events, company meetings and national conventions, relating her moving story and inspirational message.
