When I was two years old, I lost my grandmother to breast cancer. Because of this, I have been diligent about getting my preventative screenings done yearly. Almost exactly a year ago, I had a life-saving test! My annual mammogram detected something that wasn’t right. After further testing, I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ at the age of 49.
The past year has been a roller coaster of emotions, but along the way, I have had the most incredible support team walking alongside me. I will forever be grateful to the many family members, friends, doctors, nurses, and even complete strangers who have helped me heal both physically and emotionally.
Why I walk? I walk for my grandmother, for everyone battling breast cancer, and for those we’ve lost. Early detection saved my life, and I want others to know they’re not alone. This is why I walk—to give back, raise awareness, and inspire others.
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.
