My Story
I was a 5yr old little girl when my grandmother was battling breast cancer and passed away at the age of 48. My mother, in denial about her own diagnosis, refused treatment and died at 37, leaving my brother and sister high school ages alone to take care of ourselves. Growing up without a mother was incredibly difficult.
Determined to lead a healthy life and avoid the same fate as my grandmother and mother, I did my best to take care of myself. However, at the age of 49, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was willing to do anything to survive for my children. Now, I am a survivor, 60 years old, cancer-free, and cherishing life with my three beautiful grandsons.
This year, 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?
