Feel Them For Life

Tune in to 9NEW NOW At 5AM Thursday (11/15/06) for a special report on survivor & custom wedding gown designer Aimee Lauren of Woodbridge, VA.

Aimee is a protégé of famed Italian designer Giorgio Armani and has worked as a celebrity photography stylist with clients like Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwen Stefani.

In each of her custom bridal gowns, Aimee stitches a pink ribbon to remind her clients to “Feel Them For Life.”

Women in their 20s & 30s don’t think breast cancer is a disease they have to worry about. That’s what a doctor told Aimee, a newlywed at the time, when she felt what she called a rock in her breast. She was too young, too healthy, no need to worry.

But Aimee insisted on a mammogram.

See what happened next and why Aimee believes all women should “Feel Them For Life” Thursday on 9NEWS NOW At 5AM & 5PM!
