My name is Paula Flory, and I am the Founder and Executive Director of Move Over Breast Cancer. In 2011, I was diagnosed with Stage III locally advanced breast cancer. Little did I know, this diagnosis would change my life in a very positive way. With a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from New York University, and many years of experience helping people figure out how to jump through the most difficult hurdles in life, I had the professional background needed to create an organization to assist women through cancer trauma. In 2019 I was extremely honored to be voted Breast Cancer Community Leader of the Year by Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine. Finally, in 2020, my vision for a fully mobile breast cancer support organization became a reality. Move Over Breast Cancer brings one-of-a-kind care, comfort, and glam to your doorstep!
More than a van, she’s a sanctuary on wheels. Wrapped in pink and filled with purpose, this customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter delivers healing, dignity, and beauty directly to the women who need it most. Inside, you’ll find a hot pink velvet tufted sofa that invites honest conversations and quiet moments of courage beneath a glowing neon sign that says “Hello Beautiful.” A Hollywood-style vanity mirror framed in soft lights faces a salon chair where heads are shaved with grace, wigs are tried on with joy, and identities are reclaimed. Every design choice reflects the heart of our mission. From the feather boa draped over the chair to the angel wings on the back wall, it all exists to meet women exactly where they are and remind them they are still radiant, still powerful, and never alone. The Glam Van was featured on ABC’s The View in 2023 and continues to deliver dignity and support across New Jersey, one visit at a time.
