My Story
In August 2024, I was diagnosed with stage 2 Triple Negative breast cancer. After 16 rounds of aggressive chemo, two hospital stays, a bilateral mastectomy I am happy to report that I am now considered a breast cancer survivor. This would not have been possible without the help of my amazing medical care team, the advancements in breast cancer treatments, as well as the support of my family and friends.
I choose to do this walk for a number of reasons. The first is to acknowledge the huge accomplishment of beating breast cancer. I choose to do this walk to celebrate the wonderful medical care team I had during my journey. I choose to do this walk to celebrate with my family and friends, acknowledging the affect this journey had on them as well. I choose to walk for those who can't. I chose this walk specifically because I want to keep the memory of a very special breast cancer survivor alive, and I know she would have loved to be a part of this if she could.
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.
