Faith Mauro-Huse and Claudia Kent would occasionally see each other in the hallway during work hours. Both of the women were colleagues, but their jobs weren't the only thing they had in common.
Faith had been diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago and began her battle in stride. Claudia was in a similar situation, but both women never knew of one another's fight.
The women chose to keep their medical woes private and dove into their workloads.
Both women attended the annual Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure Event, not knowing that the other was there. Both women were posing for a survivor photo and gathered next to their fellow champions in a powerful sea of pink.
Then, a little accidental bump opened their eyes forever.
In the video below, posted on February 10, 2017, Faith explains, "When I sat down, I knocked somebody behind me and when I turned to apologize — and there was Claudia!"
Claudia says, "It was like fate, then she goes, 'Claudia?' and it was total shock."
It is then that the colleagues learned that they have both been dealing with breast cancer alone, but still together. Now that they are aware of each other's past, they have a bond that not all women can claim. It is a support system unlike any other.
Faith Mauro-Huse explains, "I feel like I joined a sorority I never wanted to join, but the women in it are absolutely incredible."
