About the Author

Veteran journalist and eight-time Emmy award-winner Lu Ann Cahn is a reporter for Philadelphia’s WCAU-TV. She’s currently working on special in-depth projects and exclusive high profile interviews for NBC10 News at 11p.m. Lu Ann is admired by her colleagues and viewers for her personal story of beating breast cancer at the age of 35. By going public with her struggle and determination in overcoming this disease, she raised awareness and impressed upon millions of women the importance of breast self-exam and mammography testing. Her 1992 special report, “Breast Cancer: My Personal Story,” won her a national Clarion award and two Mid-Atlantic Regional Emmys.

Cahn is an honorary board member of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America and serves as the annual emcee of the foundation’s main fundraising event, the Renaissance Ball. She also works extensively with Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
