Other News
Ms. Eikenberry co-produced a one-hour documentary for NBC entitled Destined to Live, which dealt with the emotional aspects of breast cancer, from diagnosis to recovery. She battled the disease in 1986 and was aware of the importance of letting other women know that they were not alone and could recover and lead full and normal lives.  Jill and Michael Tucker tell their story with humor and hope.  Jill says, “Our experience with breast cancer forced us to face the fact that we are going to die one day.  The question became, ‘how do we want to live?’”  Destined to Live was honored with a Humanitas Award.
