Fifteen years! That is how many years I have been cancer free. I have been blessed to have been cured from breast cancer. Every year, however, there are too many others who have lost the battle against this disease. Fortunately there are also many others that have been cured thanks to medical advancements. Today, in fact, if I were diagnosed with the same type of breast cancer that I had, I could have much less drastic treatments to be cured.
I made a commitment 15 years ago, that I would never take a cure for granted. Walking in the Race for the Cure is my small way of contributing to finding a cure. This year will be my 14th year (I didn't know about the Race the first year).
This year, I joined the ONE Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE. I am dedicated to Komen's ONE mission of ending breast cancer forever, and I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts.
Your support helps us get ONE step closer to a world without breast cancer. Funds raised help support breakthrough research and provide assistance to those facing breast cancer today who need our support. Whether it’s emotional support via Komen’s helpline, financial support through Komen’s treatment assistance program, or help navigating their care journey, Komen will be there for them.
In moments like this, your generosity can make a real difference. Together, let’s show breast cancer patients there’s a whole community standing by their side.
Will you please join me in this fight by making a donation today?
