More Than Conquerors
You’re not alone. You can face it, move through it, look good while going through it, and conquer it.
About Us
Welcome to More Than Conquerors. Every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer (Breast Cancer Research Foundation). By 2024, it is estimated that 1 in 8 women in the United States will face this life-changing diagnosis. More Than Conquerors was born out of the understanding that these women need more than just treatment; they need a support system that uplifts, inspires, and empowers them to take control of how they look, feel, and ultimately, live. Founded by Lydia Dean-Reese, a breast cancer conqueror herself, More Than Conquerors is a grassroots organization fueled by passionate women who are committed to giving back and paying it forward. While undergoing her own cancer treatments, Lydia saw firsthand the power of positivity. A fashion designer and stylist by trade, she realized how something as simple as wearing a stylish scarf or receiving a thoughtful gift could transform someone’s outlook. Her personal journey inspired the creation of More Than Conquerors—a space where women are encouraged not just to survive cancer but to conquer it. They are not just survivors, but conquerors, More Than Conquerors. Romans 8:37
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a disease where cells within the breast tissues grow out of control and form tumors, potentially spreading to other parts of the body. These abnormal cells can originate in the milk ducts or lobules of the breast.

Testimonials from Our Community
At More Than Conquerors, the stories of those we’ve helped inspire our mission every day. Below are a few testimonials from women, caregivers, and supporters who have experienced the impact of our organization firsthand.
More Than Conquerors was founded because when I was having a particularly difficult weekend after my chemo treatment, my spiritual mentor told me to ask God for something that I MUST be here to complete. So I believe God spared me through chemo, surgery and radiation to support others who are going through their own journey and to extend the support to their caregivers.
Lydia
We pray to have a impact on as many men and women, as possible, who have been impacted by breast cancer. We invite you to stand with us in spreading love, hope, and resilience.
