Board: ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis (vice president)
For more than 30 years, Linda E. B. Hansen worked as a trial lawyer. She became a registered patent attorney in 2003 and in 2004 joined Foley & Lardner LLP, where she practiced patent litigation.
For 13 years, Hansen has been living with stage 4 (metastatic) breast cancer. As an ABCD mentor, Hansen supports others impacted by breast cancer.
“Her compassion and empathy are a true inspiration. Despite the challenges that come with living with MBC, Linda’s story is one of tremendous hope,” said Ellen Friebert Schupper, executive director of ABCD.
As ABCD board vice president, Hansen brings knowledge, expertise and compassion to the organization. She dedicates approximately 20 hours per week to support ABCD’s mission, goals and financial stability, to mentor ABCD participants, and assist other organizations in the breast cancer community.
Hansen is also a member of the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition and represents ABCD on the National Breast Cancer Coalition, where she advocates for legislative action for breast cancer patients in Wisconsin and around the country.
