DES MOINES, Iowa —

Donna O'Brien, a breast cancer survivor, is selling her bambino cookies at the Iowa State Fair's Blue Ribbon Eatery to support the Beyond PINK team, a local nonprofit that provides financial assistance to breast cancer patients and their families.

O'Brien, who was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in 2008, said, "At year 10, my doctor, at my check-up, sat down with me and said I didn't think we would be sitting here. And he said, 'Go live your life.' And so my goal has been to raise as much money and help those people that didn't have the support I did."

The Blue Ribbon Eatery is located along the Grand Concourse just past the Grandstand.
