It's that time of year again!  Time to raise money to fund research and outreach to prevent, treat and cure breast cancer!

My breast cancer was discovered in December 1998.  Thanks to early discovery and treatment I am cancer free today.  Research has led to better and less invasive  treatments that I had (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy) at the age of 45.  

But the research, partially funded by Susan G. Komen, is what saved my life by enabling early detection with a mammogram.

It is more important than ever to provide money for research as the federal government has cut funds to NIH and other organizations and many programs and studies have been halted.

We NEED to fund these studies as they have made so much progress over the years and are getting closer and closer to unlocking ways to prevent and cure Breast Cancer as well as other cancers.

This year, once again, 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. 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?
