Taylor estimates that, overall, PINCC has touched the lives of 50,000 women, yet she feels the need to do more.

“That’s what happens every time I go on one of these trips. I get tired and so on. I’m no youngster. I’m 68 almost," she says. "But every time I go, it stimulates me to want to keep going and come back and open new programs because I see these women whose lives are saved. They could have died if it weren’t for us.”

Cervical cancer is still far from being conquered. Taylor notes that vaccines are being developed and may become available - and affordable - in 25 years.

And she has another goal where the disease is concerned; she hopes she'll be around to see cervical cancer wiped out for good.
