2024 marks my 8th year anniversary as a breast cancer survivor & thriver!
What did I learn from cancer?
This year, I’m dedicating my Komen Race for the Cure walk to women & men undergoing cancer treatment now, cancer survivors & cancer thrivers!
SPOTLIGHT: The 5-year survival rate for metastatic breast cancer is ONLY 25%. In 2022, Komen NC Triangle was courageous in starting a groundbreaking collaboration between Susan G. Komen, Duke University and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill to accelerate research on metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to FIND A CURE and to transform MBC from a terminal illness to chronic giving patients and their families the priceless gift of time.
With a special thank you & huge round of applause to my incredible family & friends for lifting me up during my cancer journey when I was too weak during my grueling chemo, excruciating double mastectomy & painful reconstruction, for making sure I had protein, calories, water, multiple medications to stay strong to fight breast cancer, for making me laugh and for hugging me when I cried!
We did this together as a team united with TEAM WHOOP ASS! I’m a cancer thriver because of YOU and your continued encouragement, herculean support & inspiration you have brought me for the last 8 years and continue to do to this day! I’m stronger today than before cancer! Why? Because of YOU!
Your support helps us get ONE step closer to a world without breast cancer.
