2026 Breast Cancer Awareness Walk
This will be my fourth year participating in a breast cancer walk, and my third year walking as a breast cancer survivor.
My first walk in 2023 was organized by my family, who brought together friends and loved ones as a way to surround me with love and support during a time when I needed it most. I was in the middle of chemo treatments that first time and it felt beautiful and overwhelming all at once. BUT I felt the LOVE and it helped me stay strong through the battle.
In the two years that followed, I continued walking more quietly and on my own as I processed everything that comes with becoming a survivor.
Over the last two years, so many friends have asked me to let them know when I do the next walk — so here it is.
This year feels different. I’m ready to share this part of my story again and invite my friends and family to walk alongside me—not only to celebrate survivorship, but to support the incredible research being done to prevent breast cancer, improve treatment, and save lives.
Research gave women like me more options, more hope, and more life. I want to do my small part to help make sure that continues for every person who will hear the words “you have breast cancer” after me.
Whether you walk with me, donate, or simply help share our team, I would love to have you be part of it.
I walk in honor of the survivors, in memory of those we've lost, and in support of everyone still fighting.Here’s to survivorship, research, and many more miles ahead.
Xoxo,
Erica
