Props to Her

NBC Today Show Correspondent Kristen Dahlgren announced yesterday that she's leaving the Peacock to launch a nonprofit.

It’s called the Pink Eraser Project, and it has a very lofty goal.

Dahlgren wants to find a vaccine for breast cancer.

It's a great goal, and it is a very personal mission for Dahlgren.

She has been very open and shared her struggle with breast cancer after being diagnosed with it in 2019.

“If I have learned anything in my decades as a journalist it is that one person really can change the world. Of course, it is much more effective if it becomes a movement with everyone behind it. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, 1 in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. An estimated 43,000 will die from it this year. Why wouldn’t we try to stop it?” Dahlgren says.

As someone who lost a mother to breast cancer, I applaud Dahlgren and wish her nothing but a complete success.
