Born in 1952 in Brooklyn, Massachusetts, Ellen grew into a quirky and funny adult, deeply influenced by her experiences and education. She attended Connecticut College, majoring in Anthropology, and later pursued a master's in Middle East studies at Columbia University. Her passion for journalism led her to NYU's School of Journalism. Ellen married Hugo Sanchez Moreno in 1985, and they had a daughter, Leora, in 1988. Ellen's struggle began when she noticed difficulty nursing Leora, leading to her breast cancer diagnosis in 1989. Battle with Breast Cancer: Ellen's diagnosis marked the start of a six-year battle with breast cancer, during which she became an advocate for breast health, pain management, and support for those affected by breast cancer. Following Ellen's passing in 1995, the foundation was established to honor her legacy and address the need for accessible breast cancer care and support, particularly in the Hamptons area. The foundation focused on ensuring no woman is turned away due to lack of insurance and worked towards integrating the quality of a teaching hospital with the comfort of a community facility. Vivian Shapiro's activism and commitment to making a difference were instrumental in the foundation's efforts to honor Ellen Hermanson's legacy and address the challenges faced by women with breast cancer, especially in providing accessible care and support. The foundation has raised over $6 million, with the majority supporting local services. Initiatives include the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center, providing state-of-the-art care, and Ellen's Well, offering counseling and support.Partnerships with local organizations aim to reach marginalized communities, emphasizing the importance of early detection and support. The foundation's work highlights the importance of community-based support and the ongoing need for education, access to care, and advocacy in the fight against breast cancer.
