After being diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), I experienced firsthand how life can change in an instant. Thankfully, my cancer was caught early, but the journey that followed, including a double mastectomy tested me. It also showed me the power of early detection, community, and support.
Today, I run for awareness.
I run for early detection.
I run for the women still fighting.
I run for the families impacted.
And I run for the version of myself who needed hope.
Participating in Race for the Cure is more than just crossing a finish line, it’s about honoring survivors, remembering those we’ve lost, and supporting the ongoing fight against breast cancer. My amazing friends and family walk alongside me, reminding me that this journey is not one I take alone. Their support fuels every step and makes this experience even more meaningful.
This race represents gratitude, healing, and purpose. I run so that others may have access to research, resources, and support. I run to turn my journey into something meaningful.
Because this is bigger than me, and together, we run for a cure.
