Becky Olson is a writer and professional public speaker. Becky, a firm believer that things happen for a reason, now travels the country sharing her true story of survival.
She is the president and co-founder of Breast Friends, a breast cancer outreach program based in Oregon. Their mission is to "help women survive the trauma of breast cancer... one friend at a time."
In 2005, Becky took an early retirement from her position as a sales manager for a multi-billion dollar corporation.
Becky is the mother of five children and grandmother of three, and resides in Portland, Oregon with her husband, Bill and their dog, Gretchen.
Within the opening pages of her first book, Becky Olson catapults the reader into a world that overcomes humanity’s greatest fears and desires. She makes us all realize that the world we live in is not about surviving — but about living. With tasteful wit and luminous insight, Olson weaves an intelligent, poignant and spellbinding story. Through her eyes and experiences, she helps us to remember the most important things in life: faith, love, family, courage and most of all — hope. From Part One, The Hat That Saved My Life, Part Two, Inspirations For You, The Survivor, and Part Three, Help For You, The Friend, Olson journeys through the gauntlet of friendship and loneliness, valor and self-doubt, laughter and disappointment, sickness and healing. Her meditative observations are bound to encourage readers for generations to come. Inspiring from the first few sentences, Olson’s melodic story hammers an emotional key that cannot fail to strike a chord within all of us.

What Others Are Saying
"I recently read the book, “The Hat that Saved My Life.” I tore through that book very quickly, riveted to every page. My sister has had cancer twice. Reading this book really gave me the background I needed to help answer many of the questions I had about experiences of cancer patients. At times I felt afraid to ask about what she was going through, not knowing where the limitations were. This book told me many of the things I wanted to know, and also gave me added skills in how to help her, or any other cancer victims I meet, even through just small acts. I find it odd after being a police officer for 9 years, and being an Army Reservist who has been deployed to Iraq, that I’d have any trouble talking to people about rough topics. I guess this was a bridge I had yet to cross- this was my family... I want to thank you, Mrs Olson for having the courage to share all these private experiences with the public. You’ve done a great service."

In her own voice — often laughing and often crying — Becky is making the lives of many people brighter. What more can you ask?"
