After more than two decades of routine yearly mammograms, I discovered a lump in my left breast during a self-exam. In October 2025, I received a diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer. I immediately sprang into action, seeking out the best medical advice.

After meeting with my care team and finalizing a treatment plan, I felt ready to begin this journey. Thanks to the unwavering support of my family and friends, I have been able to navigate this process while keeping a positive mindset. God has truly shown me grace and favor. I am still undergoing treatment. I am deeply grateful, and I proudly share my testimony at every opportunity to help inspire others.

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.
