October Pink💗 13% of US women develop breast cancer during their life, 1 in 8 women. This made telling Mizzou volleyball assistant coach Lauren Cost's story even more important. Cost was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024 and has battled through physical and mental adversities like no other. Though October may be over, stories like Cost's are still important to tell. Thank you to Coach Cost for letting me share your story!
