Diane Hardesty is a wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She recently retired from her 29 year bookkeeping and income tax practice to devote more time to her advocacy for hereditary cancer awareness and to spend more time with her family. Diane is also a patient speaker for Myriad Genetics, speaking nationally about her family’s amazing story. Before her family knew they have a hereditary cancer syndrome, called Lynch Syndrome, ten family members died of cancer. Since their Lynch Syndrome diagnosis, there have been ZERO cancer deaths in her family. Diane has actually been caught 6 times in the precancerous stage. That is 6 times she would have cancer, but it was prevented by regular cancer surveillance, as well as preventative surgery. Her only son, having a 50% chance of inheriting Lynch Syndrome, was tested and discovered he did NOT inherit her genetic mutation. Diane and her son, Chris Moyer, were recently featured on Lifetime Network’s Access Health television show, along with Angelina Jolie’s doctor, Kristi Funk, and another hereditary cancer family. Diane enjoys sharing the title of Cancer Previvor with Angelina Jolie. A Previvor is someone that has a hereditary cancer syndrome that puts them at high risk of developing certain cancers, but because of regular surveillance and/or preventative surgeries has not had cancer. Because Diane has been given the gift of knowledge about her genetic mutation, she has a tremendous passion to make sure undiagnosed individuals are given the tools that can prevent cancers and save lives. Having an 85% risk of colon cancer and having 7 cases of colon cancer in her family, Diane shares the goals of The WunderGlo Foundation and is thrilled to support their mission.
