Melanie, Paula and Mary Kay Just recently, my close friend Melanie was diagnosed with TNBC. She is a friend, a wife, and a mom. Melanie and I first met as potluck roommates at Purdue. We soon became fast friends as we were both engineering students, and we also became sorority sisters. After learning more about TNBC, I wanted to help fund research to find a cure. I will donate 50% of my profits for all items you purchase from my Mary Kay website.
