Kristin Ferrari: Volunteer and Board Member
Kristin Ferrari lives in Bedford, MA, with her three children: Alex, 22, Emma, 20, Ryan, 16, and her husband, Peter Ferrari, president of Shields Healthcare. In September of 2012, Kristin was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma; she was 40 years old. One month after her diagnosis, she underwent a double mastectomy at Massachusetts General Hospital and is now a proud 8-year survivor. Her healing journey brought her to Runway for Recovery, where she has found significant belonging and has become an active member. Kristin has been invited to speak about her experience at high profile fundraising events like the PMC, Bedford Parents Association, and the Relay for Life. In February 2020, Kristin organized the R4R Rally in Bedford, MA that raised $4.1K in one day.
For the last seven years, she has been an integral part of the Bedford High School Counseling Department, where she works as the Administrative Assistant to the Director. Before that, she was a physician’s assistant at Winchester Hospital Chiro. Ms. Ferrari is an active member of the Parent Association and Parent Council in Bedford, MA.
