My life was forever changed in Nov 2021 when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. 2022 was an emotional (and scary) whirlwind of surgeries, chemotherapy, multiple doctor appointments and tests, however, this year, I am blessed to be able to call myself a Survivor (Two Years and Counting, Praise God!) one who is all the more determined to live life to the fullest with the gift of time I was given. My faith and my family (including friends whom I don’t share blood but are family just the same) got me through and I am forever grateful for the love and support.  The fight continues for many other Warriors and together, we truly can make a difference and not just monetarily…

I know every hug, prayer and kind encouraging word meant the world and made a huge difference for me. Being able to ring that bell with my 4 kids looking on was one of the most amazing moments of my life that I want others to experience as well. Every day is a blessing as is each of you.
