Breast cancer changed our lives in ways we never expected. When my sister, Charlyne and I were both diagnosed, it felt like the ground had been pulled from under us. Navigating treatments, surgeries, and the emotional toll was overwhelming—but we faced it head on. Even after the initial rounds of treatment, we each encountered scares that reminded us just how fragile and unpredictable recovery can be. Those moments tested our strength but also deepened our appreciation for the medical teams, support groups, friends, and family who stood by us through every stage of the journey.

Today, raising money for breast cancer research is deeply personal. It’s our way of giving back—to honor the care we received and to help ensure others facing this disease have access to better treatments, more resources, and hopefully, one day, a cure. Every dollar raised is a symbol of our gratitude and a commitment to turning our experience into something positive and lasting. We know firsthand the difference that support can make, and we’re proud to be part of a movement that brings hope, help, and healing to so many.
