dens Maggie had to face, after receiving the devastating news that she had breast cancer was the possibility
of becoming infertile because of the drugs prescribed for treatment. Having to find funding for harvesting and preserving eggs in such a short time for a young adult with no real savings or access to the money needed
is burdensome. During this journey, the idea was born that there should be a resource available to help young
women and men in their time of crises: thus Team Maggie, a 501(c) was created.
