Meet Bonnie Bell

Founder and Executive Director

Bonnie Bell was born in Martinsburg WV, raised in Kearneysville, WV.  Her and her husband, Eric, have been married for over 30 years and together raised 4 children. With 7 other women Bonnie started Sisters United Inc. in 2008.  As founder and president of Sisters United Inc., her mission was to provide Cancer awareness, education, and support to those in the community who have been affected by Cancer by advocating for funding, research, and resources for cancer patients and their families.

Bonnie has been diagnosed with cancer four times in her life. Despite everyone being kind, after every fitting, she still felt incomplete and discouraged by the few options presented to her. In April 2008, she found a new place for prosthetics and bras. After being fitted, and pushed into buying another bra that she hated, she left the dressing room in tears, realizing, this is what God wanted her to do. So alongside the non-profit, Bonnie opened Breast and Body’s Health Boutique in 2009. The boutique initially catered to women with breast cancer and with time was able to increase their line to bra's, swimwear and fine lingerie for all woman, sizes 28AA-54M. Recently she has added nursing mothers to her client services and is working towards supplying breast pumps and accessories in the future.

Bonnie has established her business and character in the tri-state region. She has a great correlation with local surgeons, the oncology departments, and recently lactation consultants. She has an excellent relationship with the VA Hospital in Martinsburg WV, and Mary Washington cancer center in Fredericksburg VA, both which serve as her satellite locations. Bonnie helped implement and was a part of daily management and strategic planning while overseeing  the opening for the facility at the Mary Babb Cancer Center in Morgantown WV. She has been featured in The Pink Magazine, several times in The Journal all for her passion, hard work and dedication. Amoena US gave her the honor as Fitter of the Month for the month of October which was recognized in the 2013 issue. She has been interviewed and will be featured in Body Magazine which is a fashion magazine out of Brooklyn, NY. Recently she was featured in the Winchester Star, Northern VA Daily newspaper and on WHAG TV for her passion for cancer awareness and how breast and body connect together.
