Victoria (Vickie) Lane is an executive assistant to the Chief Medical Officer of a large health system in Florida where she has worked for the past eleven years. Vickie has been married to Roger for over twenty-eight years and together they have two wonderful sons, Randy and Ryan, along with the women in their lives who are like daughters to her. With her family’s loyal support, she was able to earn her associates degree in 2002. In 2004, she received her Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) certification, then continued on in 2005 to achieve her Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) certification.
On August 28, 2006, Vickie was diagnosed with breast cancer and although thankfully she is now cancer free, she continues to be an advocate for early detection and continues to show her support by helping to raise funds needed for research to hopefully put an end to the disease. Among the numerous fundraising activities she actively participates in, Vickie, along with three other teammates, is on a team to participate in the sixty-mile Three-Day Walk to end breast cancer (www.the3day.org).
Editors Note: Vickie is one of eight people who will be carrying a flag representing cancer survivors in the opening and closing ceremonies at this year’s Breast Cancer 3-Day event.
