2025 Komen Tulsa Race for the Cure

Hello friends and family,

I’m walking in the 2025 Susan G. Komen Tulsa Race for the Cure on Saturday, September 27, at River Spirit Casino Resort in Tulsa Qgiv+2RunGuides+2RunSignup+14News on 6+14Susan G. Komen®+14. I’m proud to be part of the team The Spice Rack, and I would love for you to walk with me—either in person or virtually if you live out-of-state.

My Story

In March 2017, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I had a lumpectomy on May 1 and completed 30 rounds of radiation. For several years, I was cancer-free and deeply grateful.This week, I received the unexpected news: the cancer returned. It’s now in two locations and in two lymph nodes. I’ve scheduled a follow-up with my breast surgeon and am waiting on a referral to oncology—ready to face this head-on.

Why I’m Walking

That’s why I’ve joined the Komen community. Together, we can fund vital research and support programs that provide emotional, financial, and navigation assistance to people battling breast cancer. My team, The Spice Rack, is walking with a purpose—and I need your help to make an impact.

How You Can Support
