As a member of this team, we are each playing a part in helping Susan G. Komen® in their mission to end breast cancer forever.
A year ago, at the age of 40, I went in my first Mammogram. By the time I left my appointment I knew they saw something. After many other tests, I learned I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer. I can now say after 3 surgeries, I am cancer free. I was one of the lucky ones where it was caught earlier and had amazing health insurance. Just 10 years ago I would have also needed Chemo, but because of the great strides made in research, they now know that would have not helped me with the type of cancer I had. Imagine that, just 10 years ago.
This year, I joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I am dedicated to Komen's mission of ending breast cancer forever, and I need your help. Funds raised help support breakthrough research and provide assistance to those who need it. 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.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts. I would also greatly appreciate it if you would walk me as well on 9/7 in NYC! Come walk for others and also celebrate my journey of finally being Cancer free.
