This year, I joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK Walk. I am committed to Komen’s mission of ending breast cancer forever—and I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation in support of my fundraising efforts.

I’ve lost a sister, a first cousin, and an aunt to breast cancer. Every time I share my own experience, I seem to meet yet another survivor. After my diagnosis, I spent countless hours researching and was heartbroken to see how many women in their 20s and 30s are being diagnosed. Their stories are difficult and painful.

I feel incredibly blessed—my breast cancer was found early through mammograms, and I had the knowledge and resources to receive treatment. Now, I want to give back and make a difference. Life is a beautiful gift from God, and while it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of it all, I know it’s time for me to step forward and do more.

It’s not easy for me to put myself out there, but this is my start. I hope you’ll join me on this journey. Together, we can help change the story.
