Hello! 

This summer, I am playing in Lax for the Cure, a lacrosse tournament dedicated to raising money for breast cancer research and support. This event brings together teams from across the country to compete while making a real impact in the fight against breast cancer. 

The mission of Lax for the Cure is to:

✅ Raise funds and awareness to fight this awful disease✅ Promote philanthropy within the lacrosse community✅ Support families affected by breast cancer

This cause is personal to me. My mom, Brenda, was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was six years old. At the time, I didn’t fully understand what was happening, but I knew it was tough on my family. Now, my friend Sydney’s mom is also battling breast cancer, and I realize just how many people are affected.I am playing in this tournament for them and for everyone who has faced this fight. 

My goal is to raise a minimum of $1500 (or more!) to help fund research and support those in need. Every donation—big or small—makes a difference!

If you’d like to support this cause, please consider donating here:

Thank you for your support—it truly means so much to me! Let’s play hard, give back, and fight breast cancer together!
