Washington Franchise

Three sisters in Issaquah, WA have come together to open a BRAS franchise. Their roots started with their mom and dad immigrating from Holland and settling in Seattle, Washington. After Ingrid and Ursula were born their parents adopted a baby girl, Theora, from Korea. All three of them have remained close friends and reside in the same community with their families. They are excited for this opportunity to work together.
Ingrid Adams had a twenty four year corporate career where she gained valuable experience in managing people and streamlining operations. Twenty three years ago her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Ingrid became very involved in advocating for him through five surgeries and radiation treatment. When mammography was unable to properly work for her because of dense breast tissue, she opted for no screening until becoming involved with BRAS. The opportunity to be co-owner of a BRAS franchise has come along at the perfect time, and she is excited about this new career which will allow her to do something she truly believes in. Ingrid lives with her husband of twenty five years
Ursula Walker has spent the last nineteen years managing her home and volunteering for various groups with a focus on administrative tasks and projects. Through her own family's illnesses and injuries she has learned the value of a healthy lifestyle and natural remedies. After her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer fifteen years ago, the search began to find out ways to lesson the odds of becoming the one in eight diagnosed with breast cancer. Now that her children are older, it seems the perfect time to be a co-owner of a BRAS franchise with her sister Ingrid. She is looking forward to providing women with tools and information that will help promote breast health. Ursula lives with her husband of twenty one years, she has one child in college and two at home.
Theora Dalupan is a volunteer extrodanaire. In addition to raising her family with her husband, she has worn many hats that have given her experience in meeting planning, event management, and marketing. When two of her three children were diagnosed with a severe nut allergy, she promoted allergy awareness in her community. Working part time with her sisters to promote breast health awareness seems a natural fit. Theora lives with her husband of seventeen years, she has three children at home.
Welcome Ingrid, Ursula and Theora to the BRAS family!
