What if the person delivering your morning traffic report was also fighting a battle for her life, and using her platform to help others navigate their own? Roz Varon, the familiar face on ABC 7 Chicago, is more than just a traffic anchor; she's a beacon of hope and a powerful advocate for breast cancer awareness.

Varon's journey began in July 2006 when she received a life-altering diagnosis: stage IV metastatic breast cancer. At that time, her daughter, Sarah Janz, was only 10 years old. For Varon, a self-proclaimed "ardent pet lover, dogs in particular," her pets became even more like children, especially when her daughter was away at college. But beyond her personal life, Varons diagnosis ignited a fire in her, transforming her into a tireless advocate for cancer prevention and awareness. A survivor since 2006, she frequently appears at various breast cancer events, sharing her story and inspiring others with her motivational speaking.
