Trippar emphasized her intention to raise awareness about early detection. "I feel that we are all going to get through this, like I found my tribe because I was feeling very alone. I thought I was going to die, I mean, when they told me I had metastasis and that there was no cure, because they even told me there was no cure," she clarified, referring to consultations with medical professionals. "My real intention is to raise awareness and catch it early, that as soon as you feel the lump, go get it checked and that you can catch it in time," she urged.
