Our
Story
Patty Brisben, Founder and CEO of Pure Romance, had a Consultant contact
her a few years ago and tell her how much Pure Romance meant to her. During the
time she was fighting to survive breast cancer – she told Patty that Pure
Romance was giving her the strength and motivation to keep fighting the
disease. Patty was overwhelmingly touched by her story but even more so by her
spirit.
Convention was right around the corner and Patty was looking
forward to spending a little one-on-one time with the Consultant.
Unfortunately, she did not get that chance; just a few days before convention,
the Consultant passed away.
As soon as Patty heard the news, she felt an overwhelming sense of
emptiness – Patty had taken that time for granted and now she would never be
able to tell the Consultant how much her words meant to Patty or how proud she
was of her and her resolve to fight this terrible disease. I guess in the back
of Patty’s mind she never thought that breast cancer would take her life - that
it could happen to someone she knew, someone she cared about.
From then on, Patty vowed to never take time with others for
granted ever again. In tribute to her friend, she decided to put forth a
committed effort to make a difference in the lives of women fighting breast
cancer –to help them regain their spirit and have a quality of life which they
may have lost sight of during the course of their illness.
