Donate

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. Your gift will help us reach our bold goal to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% in the U.S. within the next decade!

Colleen's Story

In December of 2022, our lives were turned upside down when Colleen was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She bravely fought this terrible disease and has been cancer free since July 2023.

Colleen still continues to endure treatment with Keytruda immunotherapy every 6 weeks. This will hopefully be ending in a few months. She has continued to battle other health issues brought on by cancer and cancer treatment, but she is a warrior and fighter!

Please join us this on 9/14 in Detroit for the Race for the Cure Walk. If you can't make the walk, please consider donating to our team. All proceeds fund breast cancer research through the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

We walk to honor Colleen, really to honor all cancer survivors and those who have fought the ultimate battle and lost.
