~40 Percent Of People Will Get Cancer In Their Lifetime: A Former Olympian’s Story

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / ~40 Percent Of People Will Get Cancer In Their Lifetime: A Former Olympian’s Story
Published: December 17, 2023 by VPR Producer

Shannon Miller holds many titles. Former Olympic gymnast. Seven-time Olympic medalist. Mother. Wife. But she also has another, unexpected title: ovarian cancer survivor. Miller joins Viewpoints this week to share her experience and perspective after she was diagnosed with cancer at just 33 years old. She hopes her story – and the challenges she went through – will help raise awareness around the importance of keeping up to date on medical checkups and screenings as you age.


Guest Information:

  • Shannon Miller, former American gymnast, seven-time Olympic medalist, cancer advocate & ovarian cancer survivor.
