Liz Lange
Liz Lange tapped into a brand new market when she borrowed $50,000 from family to launch her own line of maternity wear in the late 90’s. Credited for being one of the first designers to create high-end fashionable maternity clothes, Lange is considered a pioneer in her industry. In 2001, Lange was busy running her empire and juggling raising two young children when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She became a vocal supporter of cervical cancer awareness. “Since my hysterectomy, I’ve been cancer-free for almost eight years,” Lange said in an interview. “Now I feel absolutely compelled to tell my story, because it really shows how it can happen to anyone.”
