How Paqui Kelly, Wife of "Fighting Irish" Coach Brian Kelley, Won against Breast Cancer! by Sharing Fire published on 2013-03-17T19:57:05Z 10 years ago, Paqui Kelly was a 9th grade teacher and wife of current Notre Dame Football Coach Brian Kelly, (then coach of the Central Michigan University football team). Although she did not have a history of breast cancer in her family and she was one of six sisters, her doctor talked her into having a mammogram at the age of 37 as part of a physical exam – the first one in her life. That test saved her life and shaped much of the work of the Kelly Cares Foundation. This is her compelling story of how life sent her an unexpected and eye opening challenge. Listen to Dr. Marc Hardy interview Paqui as she opens her heart and talks about how modern medicine, love, family, faith and community helped her survive and give back. Genre Inspirational
