This is my grandmother Florine Walker who I affectionately called Mama Florine. She was my inspiration as she was a "Force of Nature"! Mama Florine was a religious woman who loved Jesus. She was a mother, a grandmother, a barber and a tailor. She had increased duct cell carcinoma of the left breast. She eventually lost her breast to a radical mastectomy. She was born in 1919 and died in 1966 to breast cancer. Mama Florine died way before her time. She was only 47 years old. I walk in honor and in memory of her life that she lived so fearlessly. I also walk in honor of all of those that have graduated to their heavenly home.
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 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 treatment assistance program, or help navigating their care journey, Komen will be there for them.
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?
