For the past several years, participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure has been deeply personal for me. This cause is not just something I support — it is something that has touched my own family in a profound way.
My mother is a breast cancer survivor. Watching her strength, resilience, and determination through that journey gave me a completely different understanding of what patients and families go through — the uncertainty, the emotional weight, the treatments, and also the incredible courage it takes to keep moving forward with hope.
In 2024, both my mom and dad walked this event with me, and it became one of the most meaningful experiences our family has shared together. Every step reminded us how important research, early detection, emotional support, and access to care truly are for countless families facing breast cancer today.
This year, I’m once again participating in the 2026 Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure to help support Susan G. Komen’s mission of ending breast cancer and helping those currently fighting this battle.
Your donation — no matter the size — helps fund critical research, patient support programs, screening initiatives, and resources for individuals and families navigating breast cancer. More importantly, it helps remind patients that they are not alone.
To everyone who chooses to support this cause: thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness and generosity truly make a difference.
Together, let’s continue moving toward a future where fewer families have to hear the words “you have breast cancer.”
