Hutcherson, a former San Francisco 49er "Gold Rush" cheerleader who directs sales and marketing at New York City's Encore Events, is a versatile entertainer who sings, dances and choreographs with top performers -- and writes, as well.
For her 26th birthday in June, the Atlanta native was diagnosed with breast cancer so stealthy that there weren't any lumps, so rare that it occurs in only 5% of those stricken -- and so severe that she needed an immediate double mastectomy.
"This has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through," she wrote this summer, "but I feel fortunate to have a new perspective and greater understanding of my purpose. Coming so close to death at such a young age has taught me how to live."
Hutcherson is determined to complete her degree at Montclair State University, with a major in Communication & Media Arts and a a minor in Musical Theater. She is also the creative director/choreographer for Ballroom BASE (Be About Something Epic) Dance Co.
A recent follow-up examination turned up a small, invasive tumor, however. That means treatments for a considerable amount of time, including possible aggressive chemotherapy and egg freezing therapy.
"I have made peace with whatever is necessary to preserve my life," she wrote recently. "I'm just a little bummed at the thought of losing my crazy blonde lion mane.
"Whatever the outcome may be I will go with my head high. And when it gets hard to breathe, I just look beside me to remember I'm never really walking alone."
