I want to help Susan G. Komen save lives and end breast cancer forever. 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be impacted by breast cancer in their lifetime, which is why I’m fundraising to help support Komen’s vision of a world without breast cancer.

This year, I’m running 26.2 miles with a purpose that’s deeply personal to me. My mom is a breast cancer survivor, and my great-grandmother bravely battled breast cancer as well. Their strength, resilience, and love inspire every step I take toward the starting line.

I’m running to honor my great-grandmother’s memory, celebrate my mom’s survivorship, and help create a future where fewer families hear the words “you have breast cancer.” My goal is to raise $10,000 to support research, education, and patient support services that make a real difference in people’s lives.

Training for a marathon is tough, but it’s nothing compared to what those affected by breast cancer endure. Every mile I run represents hope, strength, and the power of community. Whether you donate, share this page, or cheer me on, you are part of this journey with me.

Thank you for helping me turn miles into meaningful impact. Let’s go the distance — together.

As the world’s largest and most impactful breast cancer organization, Susan G. Komen supports more breast cancer research than any other nonprofit outside the U.S. government, while providing real-time help to those facing the disease.
