Rachel O’Neill had no idea that taking a vacation to Africa to celebrate her 50th birthday would eventually land her on NBC’s Nightly News with Brian Williams. Five years ago O’Neill, 56, of Brownstown, and her husband Michael planned an expensive holiday in Africa filled with safaris and swanky hotels. O’Neil said her vacation was fun and exciting, but the real reward came on her second trip to Africa. After teaming up with a mission group from her church, the Trenton Church of Christ, she went back to the place she said she had “always felt drawn to” and began serving the people of Malawi.

Millwood and her younger twin sisters, Jasmine and Camai, were raised mostly by Reaume after the girls sustained years of abuse and neglect at the hands of their biological parents. “Our parents were extremely unfit parents,” Milwood said. “They put us in a lot of harm, I would say, growing up in the different circumstances we had to deal with,” Milwood, now 25, said she spent a majority of her childhood in the foster care system as her parents battled drug and alcohol abuse…

They are our mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmas, husbands, uncles, friends and neighbors — and they all fought breast cancer. These brave Michigan men and women shared their stories with Patch.
We went looking for faces of survival. We found inspiration. Patch asked Michigan women and men who have fought breast cancer to share their struggles, tears and triumphs with us during October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer survivor Cynde Lebert, 59, of Canton, tells newly diagnosed women: “You'll be fine. You're alive and that's the most important thing.” Farmington Hills resident Dick Jaeger, 70, is one of the approximately 2,140 men diagnosed each year with breast cancer. "The answer is know your body and don't take anything for granted," Jaeger said. "Every day, I'm a cancer survivor," said Jean Bean, a 58-year-old mom, wife and interior designer from Rochester. "I don't obsess about it, but it's always there." Nancy …
