When Samantha Galliet was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form  Breast cancer at 29, her medical aid refused to pay for a new treatment.  She was given 6 months to live and took them to court and against all odds made history by winning the first case of its kind in South Africa. Her experiences spurred her on to found PinkLink a breast cancer advocacy group.
