Judi Grove, was in the insurance industry for over 23 years. In January, 2007 she faced a breast cancer scare and learned about Keep A Breast Foundation on the Internet where two young women were raising breast cancer awareness by making plaster casts of women's torsos. She too wanted to make a cast of her breasts in case the diagnosis indicated a mastectomy was necessary. Needing the materials to do this, She contacted Nancy Coryell, owner of Anticipation Ultrasound Studio in Tulsa, OK, who sold "belly casting kits" to pregnant women. When they met they agreed there was a need to raise awareness in their own community and beyond. Together they started Breast Impressions.
