Your gift could provide a one month supply of Tamoxifen, a drug used to treat breast cancers that rely on estrogen for growth, to a patient in need. Every 60 seconds, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer. Your gift will help save lives! Your gift could provide a screening mammogram to an uninsured or underinsured person in need. Your gift could provide a breast prosthesis for an uninsured or underinsured woman in need.

My Reason to Run

I am running this 5k not only for my family but for myself. When I was 17 years old, I lost my mother to breast cancer after she fought for 10 year. At 19 years old, I found out I had the same gene that has left such a horrible stamp on my family. Over the years, I have watched other family members also be diagnosed with breast cancer and others pass away from this horrible disease. So today I run for them and in honor of them with high hopes for the research in the future. Please consider supporting me!
