Volunteer Spotlight: Rozalyn Heidtke


PUBLISHED: 8th July 2025

Rozalyn has been an invaluable member of our VolunteerFORCE family since 2017, serving as a Peer Navigator and Community Leader volunteer. Rozalyn has dedicated countless hours to answering questions and providing resources and support to individuals affected by hereditary cancer at support meetings and 1:1 over the phone. Her commitment to empowering others to make informed decisions regarding their cancer risk and treatment with their healthcare providers has made a significant impact on our community.

As a Triple Negative Breast Cancer Survivor with the BRCA1 genetic mutation who experienced endometriosis, infertility and has undergone IVF, Rozalyn has been a guiding light for many individuals and actively advocating and supporting others dealing with these issues. 

In her Peer Navigator role she has provided personalized support to over 60 individuals and has helped so many more as a Community Leader at support meetings. She is dedicated to empowering others to become their own advocates so they can make informed decisions about their health with their doctors.

We are incredibly grateful for Rozalyn's time, expertise, and unwavering dedication to FORCE’s mission. Her contributions have strengthened our collective efforts to help ensure no one faces hereditary cancer alone. Thank you, Rozalyn, for all that you do!
