In 2023 my best friend, Connie, a breast cancer survivor asked me to join her in the Susan G. Komen walk.  It was an honor to be a part of her health journey.  We signed up, raised $ and planned our day ~ matching outfits and Bestie hats we wore as we ventured out on what we thought would be years of tradition.  Connie was so proud to be a part of the sisterhood of survivors.  It wasn't the easiest 2 miles for Connie but she pushed herself to finish and I could not have been prouder.  In 2024 we continued the tradition, another step in Connie's journey of survivorship.  We couldn't wait to sign up in 2025.

In March of 2025 Connie was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and less than 2 months later we were celebrating her life, mourning her loss.  During one of our talks in the hospital I promised her I would carry on our tradition and that I would walk in her memory.  So here I am. I miss her dearly and it will be difficult not having her with me, but I will do it for her - for my best friends memory.

Last year I was a top 25 fundraiser - Connie was so proud of me!  I'd love to be part of this group again this year, for her!  Will you please consider making a donation in honor or in memory of someone you love?

This year looks different!
