Why am I doing this walk? I always knew it was an important and great cause. But since being diagnosed, now it is especially close to my heart.

I have never been so scared as when I was told the news. But I was comforted and supported by so many people. And that support got me through the very rough time that I had to endure.

I thank everyone for their love and support, and ask that if you can't join me in the walk, that you help in whatever way you can.

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.
