Ashley Hamm - For The Cure

­Moving along in her life as a student at Texas A&M University, Ashley Hamm said she had never known anyone in her life that had breast cancer … up until her best friend was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 22.

“That changed everything for me, I then dedicated my life to helping to find a cure for breast cancer.”

Ashley later moved to Lubbock and began volunteering her time as a part of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and serves today as its local Executive Director. Hamm’s time with Komen for the Cure is spent helping the uninsured get breast cancer screening, educating young women about the disease and is also focusing on the organization’s outreach program to communities outside of Lubbock. Ashley dedicates countless hours to the cause and is thankful for the support she receives from her family and husband, Ty.

“This really isn’t a job for me, instead I get to come in everyday and do what I love.”
