April 5th marks the second year anniversary of our former Board Chair Amy Avelar's passing. This is a moment to reflect on her legacy and the influence she had on our organization and community as a whole. Amy Avelar was a beautiful, passionate IBCLC and Public Health Nutritionist in Ventura County. She served as the Board Chair of the Breastfeeding Coalition of Ventura County and was a strong advocate for breastfeeding and healthy families. Amy passed away after a long battle with Ovarian Cancer. Despite her battle, she continued serving her community and was a dedicated mother. She will be missed by all who knew her and we are forever grateful for her impact and contributions at WIC and in the Breastfeeding Community.
Amy shared her desire to bring awareness to ovarian cancer and its early symptoms.
