2025 Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure

This cause holds a special place in my heart, as I have not only witnessed the impact it can have on individuals and their loved ones, but I personally have been affected by it. In 2023 I was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) which is a non-invasive form of breast cancer. It means that the cancer cells are confined to the milk ducts and have not spread to surrounding tissues. While it may sound less serious, it is still crucial to detect and treat it early. I am forever grateful that it was caught early! I chose to undergo a double mastectomy which was necessary to protect my health and future. It was the best decision I made, as I am now 2 years CANCER FREE!

Breast cancer is a battle that affects millions of women worldwide. By walking or running for breast cancer, My Team and I are joining a powerful movement that aims to raise awareness, support survivors, and fund vital research. Every step we take is a symbol of hope, strength, and solidarity. Together, we can bring about positive change and improve the lives of those affected by this disease.

Breast cancer knows no boundaries - it can touch anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. That's why it's crucial for us to come together as a community and support one another.

Walking or running for breast cancer is not just about raising funds; it's about showing compassion, empathy, and love. It's about honoring those who have fought or are still fighting this battle. It's about celebrating the survivors and remembering those we have lost. Together, we can create a world where no one has to face breast cancer alone.

I invite you to join us on this journey of hope and solidarity. Together, we can make a  lasting impact. Whether you donate, participate in a walk or run, or simply spread awareness, your support matters. Let's stand united against breast cancer and work towards a future free from this devastating disease.
