Marilyn Mazzarulli
New York, NY

Honored by Diahann Carroll

My star is Marilyn Mazzarulli – my close personal friend of more than 20 years. Having personally battled breast cancer, I know first-hand how vital it is to have the support of a caregiver, like Marilyn, while undergoing treatment. Caregivers take on so many roles – from emotional support, which I believe to be the most critical, to providing transportation and helping with meals. But it can come at a high price for the caregiver. While we as patients and survivors might not always see it, caregivers experience a great deal of stress as they help us cope and keep our focus on getting well. I thank you Marilyn, from the bottom of my heart, for your support!
