IN SHORT
She bought the iconic pink hardhat and vest that the entire world has seen her proudly wear in New York, while both her husband and her son were receiving treatment for cancer. Ilya Espino de Marotta has learned to thrive with very little. After all, other problems become meaningless in the face of disease, she says. She champions teamwork, resilience and family values.
