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. In March 2024 I was taken to the hospital with slurred speech. After a series of test and scans it was determined that I have two masses in my skull (not my brain) and that I needed to begin daily radiation treatments. This led to a series of medical incidents and more hospital stays. Unfortunately, I was forced to retire from education after 31 years with the district.
I have never been someone that asks for help but I found myself in a wheelchair and unable to care for my own basic needs. Besides the infusions and doctor visits, my current prescriptions are over $20,000 a month. I had to seek financial aid to cover those costs that the insurance would not cover since it is a specialty drug.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts. Funds raised help support breakthrough research and provide assistance to those facing breast cancer today who need our support. You don't know the relief that a fighter has when they hear that a sponsor is going to help with the cost of their medication. 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?
