This year, I’m rejoining 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.

My mother-in-law, Ellen Ashton, was one of the most incredible people I’ve ever known. As a nurse, she cared for both women and men battling breast cancer. Then in 2003, her own battle began when she was diagnosed with the disease. After a long, courageous fight and the heartbreaking loss of her only son, she eventually gained her pink wings. I was devastated, as her strength and resilience had always shone through, and I thought she’d keep fighting forever. It took me some time to realize that now, the torch has been passed on to me to keep this going.

Her original team name was Ribbons of Hope, but I’m asking that you consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts. Your support helps world get closer to a place 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?
