Hello, Friends & Family. Join me in supporting my second year to fight for those who are fighting Breast Cancer, or can no longer fight To End Breast Cancer! This walk was so inspiring last year , and if I’m being honest a little heartbreaking to know My Beautiful Best Friend/ Guardian Angel who I have the greatest honor to call Mom, Could not psychically be there. So, In her Memory, I Walk for her. A year and a half has passed without Mom, and as Im still learning to navigate through life without her, I’m so grateful to have her strength in times when I just want to break down and cry. Instead, I hold my head up high as I can , and search for the positive in every situation as she would want me to. As I push forward , I truly believe she’s right there beside me.  A year ago, before my Dad, my Husband Juan ,and I walked this walk I had a scare of my own following my annual mammogram. I remember thinking if God wants me to fight the same fight/challenge as my Mom did ,then Mom wasn’t going to let me fight alone. My nerves were high, and even though positive thoughts surrounded me , I  was prepared for the worse. As I learned my faith was just a benign cyst that needed to be monitored early this spring, my main thought during this whole experience was really put into perspective. “Just because you’re not in pain or don’t always feel something doesn’t mean it’s not there”. Cancer has no Judgement. Thankfully, When I had my follow up it (cyst)had completely vanished. Grateful as I was, I was emotional , and my heart was heavy all over again.  A reminder in life to appreciate everything in life and expect nothing. To listen to our body , and maintain a healthy lifestyle as much as we can. To live every day as it’s the last. Hug and appreciate your loved ones, because the next day, is never guaranteed. That Day,  I felt my Mom had to have had me in her Arms. My Protector of all time, guiding me through that small hurdle. I miss my mom every day, she is My Lucky 17 . Her birthday was June 17, and Her favorite number, number 17, has now become mine. Signs of the number all around me brings tears and smiles to my face. I see her in my dreams , I still hear her voice, and can hear her say “No use crying over it, it is what it is”. What it was, was Bravery, Strength, and she was gracefully determined to overcome anything.  Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer wasn’t supposed to happen , but it was what it was and She was a fighter who left me/us way too soon. Today, and Everyday I will fight for her, because she no longer can. With that said I have decided to make my Goal $1700.00! Lucky 17. I kindly ask to Help me reach my goal and support research and awareness. Your contribution is appreciated more than you’ll ever know, and it’s one day at a time and a step closer to finding a cure. In Advance, I thank you all for your support! Kindly Donate if you can, Find some Pink/ ComeJoin me on this walk! My mom will be smiling from the sky, and I will be forever grateful! Always!

With Love, Clarissa
