August 21, 2024 was one of the scariest, emotional and heart breaking days of my life. Being told that I have breast cancer was something I never thought would be a part of my life's journey. As I have approached this road bump head on I have powered through 16 chemotherapy treatments, a double mastectomy, a hospital stay, many hours in bed recovering, one bald head, and more love and support from my family and friends than I could have ever imagined!
I ask you all now to join me and help raise money to make progress towards finding a cure for this disease. As I have sat through many chemotherapy treatments I am the youngest person in the infusion room and it sucks. I, as well as many others, shouldn't have to go through this. Life already throws us enough curveballs. It's a horrible feeling and it's a feeling I hope through research, preventative care and early detection that we can help someone not have to feel the way I do sitting in that chair.
So let's get fundraising and come together on May 10th to walk for a cure!!
I have also created team tee-shirts so we can match at the event. If you would like to order one please click the link. At check our select "pick up by Rebecca Diaz." If you live close to me I will probably deliver your tee as soon as I get them if not I will bring it to the race! You must order by April 28th!
