ST. GEORGE — A breast cancer survivor and fashion designer is channeling her journey into an act of support by donating her handmade robes to women battling cancer.
"While it is just a simple robe, I hope that a woman finds comfort in being able to just let her body heal through something that we shouldn't be going through, and yet it affects so many women," Marie Nohr said.
When St. George News last spoke with Nohr in April 2022, she shared the story of building her own fashion business from the ground up. As a mother to son with special needs, she was balancing multiple jobs and navigating health challenges. With years of experience working for other fashion companies, it wasn't until the COVID-19 pandemic that she took a leap and launched her own business.
At the end of the interview, she said she sensed something was wrong with her health, but she didn't yet know what it was. About six months later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
