Frieda's Supports Breast Cancer Awareness With TV Appearance
Los Alamitos, CA
Jackie Caplan Wiggins, Vice President and COO of Frieda’s, will be featured on the daytime CBS show, “The Doctors” sharing her story of surviving breast cancer.
“When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I didn’t understand the importance of sharing one’s story,” says Wiggins. “But after I was diagnosed and sent out emails letting people know … it was a real epiphany for me. Sharing your story is healing and it helps.”
Wiggins recently celebrated her first anniversary as a breast cancer survivor and was filmed for the show at the TeamSpirit Breast and Ovarian Cancer 10k walk in collaboration with Long Beach Memorial Hospital. Through the support of friends in the produce industry, Wiggins has raised more than $50,000 for the Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.
Now cancer free, Wiggins is the face for the TeamSpirit campaign and Long Beach Memorial Hospital and is featured on several of their posters, fliers, and advertising, along with her sister, Karen Caplan, President and CEO of Frieda’s.
Wiggins is scheduled to air on October 8th.
