Local Lesbian Business Owner Fights Cancer; Starts Foundation With a Punch

[William769]

Bernadette Zizzo -- co-owner of Art Frenzie in Wilton Manors – was diagnosed with LCIS, a rare form of breast cancer in her right breast in December of 2010.

From the start the 42-year-old knew what she was up against.

“I was no stranger to LCIS,” Zizzo says. My mother died from the same kind of cancer, and I understood its severity right away.”

What she didn’t anticipate, however, were the financial woes she would have to overcome in order to receive treatment, nor the unintended benefits that would come as a result of her struggles. Her hardships led her to form the “Knock Out Cancer 4 The Cure Foundation.”
