Lahti says she feels a "personal passion" to help make a difference. "My mother had breast cancer. My mother-in-law died of it when she was in her early 40s. And my sister-in-law had a mastectomy. I feel strongly that young women should be empowered with the knowledge to take charge of their own breast health."
