Myriad Holds Event to Support Patient Advocacy Groups

The evening of September 19^th was a night filled with an abundance of fun and meaning in the Big Easy. A total of 200 genetic counselors
attended Myriad Genetics’ Trivia Night at a local gathering place during the National Society of Genetic Counselors’ meeting in New Orleans. First, for
every person who attended the event, Myriad donated $15 to three different organizations –Bright Pink, FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered and Sharsheret. All of these organizations are focused on educating their constituents about understanding their family
history of breast and ovarian cancer. They provide information on prevention, early detection and improving the lives of those affected by these hereditary
cancers. Thanks to the incredible turnout, $3,000 was donated to each organization to support their efforts in raising awareness and providing support.

Another highlight of the evening was having Kim Crimmins, her mother Pam and her Aunt DeeDee attend the event and share their story about dealing with a
family history of cancer. Kim tested negative in a family with a known mutation for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. She told a compelling story and
immediately got the crowd’s attention with “How y’all enjoying New Orleans!?” Kim was born and raised in Louisiana and comes from a family who talked about
breast cancer like it was the next door neighbor – everyone in her family believed it wasn’t if they would get breast cancer, but when.
Several of Kim’s first-degree relatives tested positive for the gene mutation, including her mother. After testing negative, Kim said, “Hereditary breast
cancer stops here.” Another sure sign that information is power.

This event demonstrates Myriad’s ongoing commitment to improving patients’ lives, not only through our pioneering genetic tests, but through our
sponsorship of patient advocacy groups like these. We believe that it is important to support these organizations and the valuable resources and
information they provide for people who are dealing with cancer.
