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!

Welcome to My Personal Page

In 2024 my dear friend Jen was diagnosed with breast cancer. In an instant our quality time changed from casual hangouts to doctors appointments and infusions at the “cancer museum”. I was able to see first hand how awful this disease truly is. Jen is a warrior who was able to beat cancer, but it was far from easy. I look forward to honoring her as I raise money to help Susan G Komen end breast cancer forever. Please consider making a donation to help me reach that goal. Just like last year I will be matching every dollar donated.

Your support helps Susan G Komen 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.

Thank you for helping me to honor my friend and eradicate this ugly disease.
