#thebreastiebunch is baaaaack!!! Last year, was our first in-person #morethanpink walk and it was ahhhmazing! My kids loved it so much that they begged me to do it again this year (as long as all their friends and family would come too). So here we are!
"You have cancer" is never something anyone wants to hear, but when I heard the news, I didn't cry, nor did I feel sorry for myself. I figured this is something I need to get through, so might as well do it with a positive mind-set and told myself weakness is not an option. Luckily for me, I am in remission for my 2nd year and while it's not easy, it's my new norm and making the most of it! While October is breast cancer awareness month, I continue to raise money and AWARENESS, year-round! Cancer never quits, so neither does #thebreastiebunch!
This year #thebreastiebunch is walking to raise money for those who cannot pay for their cancer treatments (and trust me it's NO JOKE). We are walking in the sea of pink for them so they can focus on fighting the damn fight and nothing else. We are walking with other SURVIVORS and their loved ones to raise AWARENESS, in hopes of someone finding cancer earlier rather than later. We are walking because we are THANKFUL that we CAN! Some might think these "walks" are pointless (not going to lie, I too felt that way), UNTIL I participated and saw how much it meant to the SURVIVORS! This is the one time many can feel "normal," without any judgement.
Please join me, my family, my friends and the rest of #thebreastiebunch as we walk this year in honor and celebrate everyone who has been affected by breast cancer or cancer in general.
Love you ALL for your continued support!
