Those of you who know me, know that cancer has affected my life more than any other aspect has. Breast cancer was the first. I lost my best friend to breast cancer 20 years ago in November. She was my partner in crime. She was always there for me. She supported me and had faith in me even when I didn’t have faith in myself. She was my confidante, she was my hero. She was my Grandma.

A couple of years after her death, I joined a radio station’s Race For A Cure Team. The event was still being held downtown. The overwhelming feeling I had that day was unlike any other I had ever had. Everywhere I looked was a huge sea of pink. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I remember thinking, "Wow, I'm not alone." Everyone there that day had something in common. The compassion and kindness I experienced was inspiring, to say the least, and something I will never forget.

Komen’s has only ONE mission – to end breast cancer forever…a world without breast cancer. They provide funding for research,  they provide care to not just patients but those who love and care for them as well. They make resources available to the community to ensure that everyone affected by this disease has a safe place to share their stories, grieve, and find the strength to move forward. They advocate and fight for the rights of patients. 

They NEED YOUR HELP.

I truly believe that even just ONE dollar or ONE hour donated can and does make a difference in getting us ONE step closer to ending this disease which has affected each and every one of us in one way or another.

Please consider making a donation to support their mission. Together, we are making a difference.
