Your gift could provide a one month supply of Tamoxifen, a drug used to treat breast cancers that rely on estrogen for growth, to a patient in need. Every 60 seconds, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer. Your gift will help save lives! Your gift could provide a screening mammogram to an uninsured or underinsured person in need. Your gift could provide a breast prosthesis for an uninsured or underinsured woman in need.

Life has a way of testing our strength when we least expect it. My journey with breast cancer began in 2015, a year that changed everything for me and my family. Faced with a daunting diagnosis, I found myself navigating the challenging waters of chemotherapy, radiation, and lumpectomy. Each treatment was not just a medical procedure; it was a battle that required immense courage and unwavering determination. Fast forward to 2022, and I was confronted with a second diagnosis, a reminder that my fight was far from over. This time, I chose to undergo a bilateral mastectomy, a decision that symbolized my commitment to reclaiming my health and my life. Throughout these trials, I have learned that resilience is not just about enduring but also about finding strength in vulnerability. My journey has been filled with moments of fear and uncertainty, but it has also been illuminated by hope, love, and the steadfast support of my family. As I share my story, I hope to inspire others facing similar battles, demonstrating that even in the darkest times, we can emerge stronger, united, and ready to embrace the future.

 

This year, I joined the ONE Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE.  I am dedicated to Komen's ONE mission of ending breast cancer forever, and I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising 

In moments like this, your generosity can make a real difference. Together, let’s show breast cancer patients there’s a whole community standing by their side.

Will you please join me in this fight by making a donation today?
