Kristen Dahlgren, NBC News correspondent, has announced her departure from NBC News to start the nonprofit Pink Eraser Project, which will focus on breast-cancer vaccines. She joined NBC News in 2006.
A breast cancer survivor, Dahlgren announced her departure on Today January 30. “I'm excited about the prospect of my own body fighting off a cancer recurrence, or a day my little girl could be protected from ever going down this road,” she said on the morning show. “So when I realized there might be a way that I could actually help the process, I was all in.”
