October 19th, 2023, at age 42, I went in for my very first mammogram screening. That led to me being formally diagnosed with breast cancer within the month. I truly believe that routine mammogram screening saved my life. If there is one thing I will stand by and shout for the rest of my life - it is breast cancer awareness and advocacy - but most of all...Getting that screening sooner rather than later. 

My experience with breast cancer has really highlighted that cancer has really evolved as an enemy. People are getting it younger and younger and in some case, it comes so much more aggressively. Organizations like Susan G Komen help advance research, they raise awareness, and the provide a sense of community to us all. My daughter, your daughter, our mothers...We deserve a cure.

This year, I joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK Walk. I am dedicated to Komen's mission of ending breast cancer forever, and I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts.

Your support helps us get one step closer to a world without breast cancer. Funds raised help support breakthrough research and provide assistance to those facing breast cancer today who need our support. Whether it’s emotional support via Komen’s helpline, financial support through Komen’s financial assistance program, or navigation services to break down barriers to care, Komen will be there for them.

Ending breast cancer needs all of us, and your generosity can make a real difference. Together, let’s show breast cancer patients there’s a whole community standing by their side.
