Let's end breast cancer together

The fight against breast cancer is a cause I hold near and dear to my heart. In 2021, I watched my favorite person--my beautiful mom--fight this disease with incredible courage, strength, and grace. A survivor now, my mom continues to inspire me everyday, and there is no greater honor than being her daughter. Mom, if you're reading this, I love you endlessly and am so proud of you.

To my aunt who is just beginning her breast cancer journey - you are so strong and loved more than you know. You are never alone. We love you so much. We are family.❤

This year, I joined the Susan G. Komen community as a member of the Executive Leadership Committee and participant in the Komen Race for the Cure. Inspired by my mom and the other strong women in my life, I am dedicated to Komen's 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 who need our support. Whether it’s emotional support through Komen’s financial assistance program or navigation services to break down barriers to care, Komen will be there for them.

Ending breast cancer needs all of us, and 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?
