This Fourth of July holiday, we celebrate our freedom and honor those who make The Rose a safe and secure experience every day for our patients, staff, and visitors.

During this conversation, Dorothy speaks with The Rose’s security guard—and boxer—Shane Evans. Shane’s been providing security for the Southeast location for the past few years, and he brings a unique perspective to the show.

What can the breast cancer community learn from an undefeated boxer?

A lot.

Shane’s own experiences in the ring have taught him the critical importance of perseverance and maintaining a positive mindset, lessons he eagerly shares with those around him and especially those battling breast cancer.

He’s also a boxer who’s yet to be beaten, and you’ll hear just how fearful his opponents are when they see him!
