Did you know that as of November 2025, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) froze or terminated grants totaling roughly $3 BILLION in unspent funds? These cuts included critical research across many fields — including BREAST cancer. Do you also know that younger women are being diagnosed with breast cancer often before they are even eligible for their first routine mammogram?

Many of these are young mothers. They are undergoing intense treatment while caring for very young children, working full-time jobs, and running households — an overwhelming and exhausting reality. 

My $500 fundraising goal is a drop in the bucket to what’s needed today to fight breast cancer. Every donation helps fund research, support patients, and move us closer to finding a cure. I hope you will consider donating if not today sometime in the near future. Thank you!
