Who is Rady Lady?

The term, ‘Rady’, represents the Radiology profession and the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Rady Lady was the first doll bringing awareness to Breast Cancer. Rylan, Rady’s Young Ladies Aware Now!, and Sir Ramse, Raising Awareness of Mammograms in Support of Ewe … and me!, also bring awareness to breast cancer completing a mom and dad figure with their little girl.

The second cancer doll was the creation of Ms. Vennie, My Story: Vennie, Enduring, Noble and Nurturing Into Eternity, a friend of mine, losing her battle to ovarian cancer in 2013.

Finally, to incorporate all cancers, Logan, Lean On God, Absolutely Necessary!, represents a boy or a girl, your choosing, in their cancer journey.

It was a passion realized after over 2 years of running a freestanding imaging center. Women seemed to let go of their feelings & emotions, the things they held deep down when the setting allowed them to feel comfortable while having a mammogram. This setting included privacy, learning, expression by journaling, fun by hooping, honor, memory, and participation by securing a pink or yellow ribbon to body forms as instructed by a poem, relief by art, warmth and expertise by professional mammographers and radiologists, and finally…something soft and huggable they could hold and believe in when reading words describing what they were there for…and take along with them.
