From OUR survivor, OUR mother Edie Rocha:
1 year ago today “8-23-23” we were told I (we) had breast cancer and from that day forward we fight on!!Thank you to the good Lord for carrying us through this journey. And, thank you to our family and friends for all you have done for us along the way and all your prayers!! I want to turn that awful news into something positive.I am so Blessed to get a 2nd chance at life!!I want to raise awareness to do self Breast exams and get those mammograms (you can get a mammogram at age 40). Early detection is key and saves lives!! Love ya lots and God Bless!! I am so happy that is behind us!! #survivor
We lost my grandmother to Breast Cancer years ago so this ugly disease has decided to hit our family more than once and today we are saying enough is enough! So, this year WE as a family 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.
Will you please join me in this fight by making your donation today?
