After Julie Devaney Hogan's “bikini saved her life,” the Boston mom started Season for Squeezin’, a campaign to encourage breast cancer awareness in younger women.
“My really good friend who’s a nurse said, ‘Absolutely not. Don’t settle for not being seen,’” Devaney Hogan recalls. “She’s like, ‘I don’t care what the doctor said. I don’t care if they’re not worried. Just get this checked. You have three babies — you need to be OK.’”“Through a fair amount of pushing and persistence, I was able to get an appointment the following week,” she says.

Recent scans found some residual cancer, so she started chemotherapy again, which will last until next year, and she will undergo reconstructive surgery in November.
Navigating motherhood, her career as a vice president at a tech company and cancer has felt tough at times. Devaney Hogan reached out to swimsuit makers, asking to include tags with information about breast cancer detection and the Season for Squeezin’ campaign. Heidi Fish — known for designing one of the bikinis — agreed to include the tags. Devaney Hogan recently learned that Imsy Swimwear and Kortni Jeane Swimwear will also use the tags.
