Caminando con Olga

A foundation born from lived experience

Olga Arcila

About Olga

In 2011, Olga Arcila faced hormonal breast cancer: a double mastectomy, 16 rounds of chemotherapy, and reconstruction. After that journey, she decided to open the doors of her life to every woman with a similar diagnosis.

On February 24, 2021 — marking more than 10 years since her diagnosis — the foundation was formally established.

Women began finding their way to the foundation through friends, social media, and even doctors who recognized the work being done.

Our mission

To help women recently diagnosed with breast cancer navigate their journey in a better way.
