Alice Crisci, founder of My Vision (MYV), a cancer organization for young adults, is a writer, public speaker, fertility preservation spokeswoman and entrepreneur. My Vision partners with patients (18-45) in protecting their future and inspiring their today. Specifically, My Vision funds fertility preservation scholarships for men and women who have to undergo surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and other cancer treatments that could leave them permanently infertile. MYV also offers women who are scheduled for body-altering surgery private photography sessions as a mechanism for them to celebrate their past while helping to transition their mind, body and spirit through their cancer journey.

On February 27, 2008, Alice was the youngest of four generations to have been diagnosed with cancer. Within the first five weeks of her diagnosis, she harvested eggs to preserve her future as a mom, had a nude photo shoot to remember the body she was born with, wrote a free vignette for other young adult cancer patients and launched the foundation. On the day of her double mastectomy, the Huffington Post approved her as a featured columnist in the progressive online magazine’s Living section. She has been recognized by the American Society of Plastic Surgery as a Patient of Courage, by Assembly member Ted W. Lieu for her Courage and has been featured and quoted in numerous newspapers and magazines.

Prior to cancer, Alice founded Beeline Global, Inc, a boutique consultancy that builds scalability within entrepreneurial companies. She builds visionary leaders from the top down while building infrastructure from the bottom up. Her methodology has been implemented by respected clients such as Strategic Counsel (headed by Cynthia McClain-Hill, President of N.A.W.B.O) and DualStar Entertainment (headed by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen), and The Beanstalk Group, headed by Michael Stone, a pioneer in the licensing industry, to name a few.

Alice confronted cancer with the same drive and energy she uses to catalyze growth in companies that hire her as a consultant and facilitator. She is known to her clients as their Sherpa and now also to the young adult cancer community. Alice lives in Redondo Beach, CA with her two dogs and a cat: a Shih Tzu named Zaney, a Lhasa Apsa named Zan and an outdoor tabby cat known to his “street” friends as Big Slick. She loves dancing, reading, watching cheesy television shows, exploring personal growth, playing with her dogs and six nephews and above all else making a difference in the world.
