My Story
I have participated in a Komen breast cancer walk before, but this year it’s personal. I am now a survivor of breast cancer. I was extremely fortunate to have been diagnosed very early, had a completely contained tumor, and am, at present, cancer-free. I benefitted greatly from the research that informed procedures that diagnosed my cancer at such an early stage, as well as diagnostic testing that helped my doctors and I decide on my course of treatment.
My goal is to help raise money in a spirit of gratitude and so other men and women can benefit like I did.
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.
